DWP £750 Payment Boost June 2025: Who Is Eligible and What to Expect This Month?
What’s happening with DWP benefits in June 2025? Are you eligible for the newly announced £750 payment boost? And what’s changing about your usual benefit dates this month?
These are some of the most pressing questions for millions of people across the UK who rely on the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) for regular financial support.
With over 20 million individuals receiving benefits and pensions, even small updates to payment dates or new schemes can create widespread concern or relief.
In June 2025, the DWP has confirmed a return to normal payment schedules after May’s disruptions caused by two bank holidays. Additionally, a £750 one-off cost of living payment has been confirmed for eligible households.
This financial boost, intended to ease pressure from inflation and living expenses, is part of the government’s broader welfare response strategy.
This article explains everything you need to know about the DWP £750 payment boost, who qualifies for it, when payments will be made, how other benefits are affected, and what actions, if any, you need to take.
Why Is the DWP Issuing a £750 Payment Boost in June 2025?
The £750 payment is part of a larger government initiative aimed at supporting low-income and vulnerable groups in the face of ongoing economic pressures.
Over the past three years, inflation, rising energy bills, and the increasing cost of essentials have significantly impacted households across the UK.
To respond to this, the DWP and HM Treasury have announced a range of temporary cost of living payments. The £750 boost being delivered in June 2025 is one such payment, designed to:
- Supplement the monthly income of people receiving means-tested benefits
- Help households meet rising expenses such as food, rent, and utilities
- Prevent increased reliance on debt or food banks
Unlike previous rounds of cost of living payments, this new instalment will be issued as a one-off tax-free amount and will not affect other benefit entitlements.
Who Is Eligible for the £750 DWP Payment in June 2025?
The DWP has specified that eligibility for this one-off payment is tied to claimants of certain benefits. If you were receiving a qualifying benefit during the assessment period in May 2025, you will be considered for the payment in June.
Qualifying Benefits for the £750 Payment:
- Universal Credit
- Pension Credit
- Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA)
- Income-related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
- Income Support
- Carer’s Allowance
- Disability Living Allowance (DLA)
- Personal Independence Payment (PIP)
It’s important to note that individuals receiving multiple qualifying benefits will not receive multiple payments. Each eligible person or household will only receive one £750 payment.
Those who started receiving one of these benefits after the assessment window in May may not qualify for the June payment. Additional support rounds or appeal processes may be announced later in the year.
When Will the £750 DWP Payment Be Made?
The DWP has stated that payments will begin in mid-June 2025, with most recipients receiving the funds by the end of the month. The specific payment date will vary depending on the benefit you receive and how long you’ve been claiming.
If your details are up to date and you received one of the qualifying benefits during the May 2025 assessment window, your payment should arrive between 17 June and 30 June 2025.
Payments will be made automatically into the bank account linked to your existing DWP benefits. No application is needed for this payment.
Have DWP Payment Dates Changed in June 2025?
Yes and no. While DWP payment dates were adjusted in May due to the early and late bank holidays, June 2025 marks a return to the regular payment schedule.
Because there are no public holidays in June, the DWP has confirmed that all benefit and pension payments will be made according to standard payment cycles.
The only exception is if your usual payment date falls on a weekend, in which case you will receive it on the nearest previous working day.
To recap what happened in May: those expecting a payment on Monday, 26 May received it early on Friday, 23 May, as DWP offices were closed for the Spring Bank Holiday.
How Is Your DWP Payment Date Determined?
Your payment date depends on two main factors:
- The type of benefit you receive
- Your National Insurance (NI) number (especially relevant for pensions)
Each benefit follows a specific payment schedule. For example, Universal Credit is paid monthly, whereas Income Support and ESA are paid every two weeks.
The State Pension is paid every four weeks, and the day it arrives depends on the last two digits of your NI number.
State Pension Payment Schedule (Based on NI Number)
| NI Number Ending | Payment Day |
| 00–19 | Monday |
| 20–39 | Tuesday |
| 40–59 | Wednesday |
| 60–79 | Thursday |
| 80–99 | Friday |
What Are the DWP Benefit Payment Schedules in June 2025?
Each benefit managed by the DWP has its own standard payment frequency. Here’s how most benefits are scheduled:
| Benefit Type | Payment Frequency |
| Universal Credit | Monthly |
| State Pension | Every four weeks |
| Pension Credit | Every four weeks |
| Carer’s Allowance | Weekly or every four weeks |
| Personal Independence Payment | Every four weeks |
| Attendance Allowance | Every four weeks |
| Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA) | Every two weeks |
| Employment and Support Allowance | Every two weeks |
| Income Support | Every two weeks |
| Child Benefit | Every four weeks |
| Disability Living Allowance | Every four weeks |
| Tax Credits | Weekly or every four weeks |
What Other Financial Support Is Available from the DWP in June 2025?
In addition to the £750 payment, the DWP and HM Treasury are issuing other forms of support this month:
- A £200 cost of living payment aimed at covering energy bills
- Potential £586/month increase in Universal Credit for certain claimants with dependents or disabilities
- School holiday meal vouchers are provided through local authorities for eligible children
- Continued access to local hardship funds and council tax support
These payments are part of a coordinated approach to prevent financial instability during key periods such as summer holidays and high-spend months.
Will DWP Offices Be Closed in June 2025?
No. The DWP has confirmed that there are no office closures scheduled for June 2025. All regional and central DWP services will operate normally throughout the month.
This follows a brief disruption at the end of May when DWP offices were closed on Monday, 26 May. Those affected by that closure received early payments on Friday, 23 May.
The next DWP closure will be on Monday, 25 August 2025, for the Summer Bank Holiday.
What Should You Do If You Don’t Receive the £750 Payment?
If you believe you are eligible for the payment but haven’t received it by 30 June 2025, the DWP recommends the following steps:
- Check your bank statement for the expected payment
- Review your benefit eligibility and payment history
- Ensure your bank and contact details are current on your DWP record
- Wait until after the full payment window has closed before contacting the DWP
Be cautious of scams. The DWP will never request personal details or banking information via email or text. Always verify communications directly through GOV.UK or via phone with official DWP contacts.
Conclusion: What Can You Expect from the DWP This June?
June 2025 brings welcome news for millions across the UK. With regular benefit payments resuming after May’s bank holiday disruptions and a significant one-off £750 cost of living payment being rolled out, this month signals stability and support.
If you’re a benefit claimant, make sure your information is up to date, check your eligibility, and stay alert to official announcements. With no office closures and predictable payment schedules, June should see smoother operations from the DWP.
For those eligible for the £750 payment, it could provide crucial help with everyday expenses at a time when every pound counts.
