# DWP Confirms Payments Will Continue on Monday, June 15 for UK Households
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has reassured UK households that their benefit and pension payments will proceed without interruption on Monday, June 15, despite it being a Scottish public holiday.
A DWP spokesperson clarified that "Payments will still process as they do for other Scottish Bank Holidays. Government Banking have confirmed that Bacs does not close for Scottish only Bank Holidays." This ensures that recipients across the country will not experience any delays in their financial assistance.
Furthermore, Social Security Scotland emphasized, "Just to confirm that Monday, 15 June, is a Scottish Public Holiday and doesn't affect payments." This statement reinforces the DWP's commitment to ensuring that essential payments remain consistent, even during regional holidays.
With these confirmations, beneficiaries can expect their payments to arrive as scheduled, maintaining the stability of household finances.
