A state pension change kicks in NEXT WEEK for state pensioners with thousands affected. A Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) payment date shake-up will take place as we head through August and towards the end of the month.

The final Bnak Holiday of the summer will bring with it a payment tweak for state pensioners. But households are warned the alteration could leave them facing a longer wait until their next payment.
