August Pension Dates & Bank Holiday Shift | Leeds News

Get ready for your August 2026 state pension payments — the DWP has the schedule, based on your NI number’s last two digits. If your usual payday falls on Monday, August 31st (a bank holiday), expect your money a few days early, on Friday, August 28th. No extra forms needed — just watch your bank account. For 2026-27, the full state pension jumps to £241.30 weekly, and the basic pension to £184.90 weekly — separate from the April increase. Most payments stay on track, but keep an eye out for that holiday shift if you’re in England, Wales, or Northern Ireland. Listen in comfort:Get a discount…
