DWP confirms big change for 24 million people in August
Throughout most of August benefit and state pension payments will be dispatched as per usual on the day you typically receive your monthly dues. However, the summer bank holiday may cause a bit of muddle for some people. Those due to receive payments on Monday, August 25 will instead have their money paid on Friday, August 22. This will apply to a variety of DWP issued benefits alongside the state pension, reports Birmingham Live. If you're expecting payments on August 23 or 24, you'll likely receive your payment on August, 22. This is because payments due on weekends are typically made on the first working day prior. For money-saving tips, sign up to our Money newsletter here READ MORE: Motorists over 65 urged to sit new training to keep their driving licence READ MORE: On the edge! Desperate rescue as Waitrose lorry hangs over lake After August, the next bank holidays that will impact DWP payments will be in December. Payments expected on December 25 and 26 will be made on December 24 instead. Regardless of the payment date, the amount you receive from your benefits should remain the same unless there has been a change in circumstances that affects your benefit entitlement. Benefits affected by Summer Bank Holiday: Universal Credit State pension Pension credit Child benefit Disability living allowance Personal independence payment (PIP) Attendance allowance Carer's allowance Employment support allowance Income support Jobseeker's allowance Early benefit payments might seem like a blessing amidst the cost of living crisis, but it can throw your budget into disarray as your payments will revert to their normal date in September. Essentially, if you're paid three days earlier in August, the same amount of money you usually receive has to stretch for three extra days. It's essential to budget carefully when receiving early benefits payments to ensure your funds stretch further than usual. If you're finding it difficult to cover your expenses, you might be eligible for an advance on your benefits or loans from the DWP. These will need to be repaid through automatic deductions from your future benefit payments, but they're typically interest-free. On Universal Credit, a budgeting advance loan ranging from £348 to £812 can be borrowed, depending on your situation. The Household Support Fund has also been extended until March 2026 and can offer help to those in severe need. This fund is distributed by local councils, so you'll need to check with your local authority to see what assistance is available and whether you qualify for it. The government has encouraged councils to use this fund to support those experiencing financial hardship. However, each authority has the discretion to decide how best to utilise the fund. For example, some have opted to provide food vouchers during school holidays for families that receive free school meals. Others are partnering with relevant organisations to distribute the funds to assist individuals needing money for fuel, water and other essentials. After August, the next bank holidays that will affect DWP payments are set to take place in December. Payments due on December 25 and 26 will be processed on December 24 instead.

Factbox-Key elements of EU-U.S. trade deal agreed on Sunday
BRUSSELS (Reuters) -The U.S. and the European Union agreed on a framework trade deal on Sunday, ending months of uncertainty for industry and consumers on both sides of the Atlantic. Here are the main elements of the deal: * Almost all EU goods entering the U.S. will be subject to a 15% baseline tariff, including cars, which now face 27.5%, as well as semiconductors and pharmaceuticals. The 15% tariff is the maximum tariff and is not added to any existing rates. * However, the U.S. is to announce the result of its 232 trade investigations in two weeks and decide separately on tariff rates for chips and pharmaceuticals. Whatever U.S. decisions come later on these sectors will be "on a different sheet of paper", European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said. * The U.S. and EU will have zero-for-zero tariffs on all aircraft and their components, certain chemicals, certain generic drugs, semiconductor equipment, some agricultural products, natural resources and critical raw materials. More products would be added. The situation for spirits is still to be established. * Tariffs on European steel and aluminium will stay at 50%, but von der Leyen said these would later be cut and replaced by a quota system. * The EU pledged to buy $250 billion of U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) a year for three years, totalling $750 billion in total, as it replaces Russian gas. The EU will also buy nuclear fuel from the U.S. * Under the deal, the EU pledged to buy U.S. military equipment and European companies are to invest $600 billion in the U.S. over the course of Trump's second term.

Analysis-Out-gunned Europe accepts least-worst US trade deal
By Mark John LONDON (Reuters) -In the end, Europe found it lacked the leverage to pull Donald Trump's America into a trade pact on its terms and so has signed up to a deal it can just about stomach - albeit one that is clearly skewed in the U.S.'s favour. As such, Sunday's agreement on a blanket 15% tariff after a months-long stand-off is a reality check on the aspirations of the 27-country European Union to become an economic power able to stand up to the likes of the United States or China. The cold shower is all the more bracing given that the EU has long portrayed itself as an export superpower and champion of rules-based commerce for the benefit both of its own soft power and the global economy as a whole. For sure, the new tariff that will now be applied is a lot more digestible than the 30% "reciprocal" tariff which Trump threatened to invoke in a few days. While it should ensure Europe avoids recession, it will likely keep its economy in the doldrums: it sits somewhere between two tariff scenarios the European Central Bank last month forecast would mean 0.5-0.9% economic growth this year compared to just over 1% in a trade tension-free environment. But this is nonetheless a landing point that would have been scarcely imaginable only months ago in the pre-Trump 2.0 era, when the EU along with much of the world could count on U.S. tariffs averaging out at around 1.5%. Even when Britain agreed a baseline tariff of 10% with the United States back in May, EU officials were adamant they could do better and - convinced the bloc had the economic heft to square up to Trump - pushed for a "zero-for-zero" tariff pact. It took a few weeks of fruitless talks with their U.S. counterparts for the Europeans to accept that 10% was the best they could get and a few weeks more to take the same 15% baseline which the United States agreed with Japan last week. "The EU does not have more leverage than the U.S., and the Trump administration is not rushing things," said one senior official in a European capital who was being briefed on last week's negotiations as they closed in around the 15% level. That official and others pointed to the pressure from Europe's export-oriented businesses to clinch a deal and so ease the levels of uncertainty starting to hit businesses from Finland's Nokia to Swedish steelmaker SSAB. "We were dealt a bad hand. This deal is the best possible play under the circumstances," said one EU diplomat. "Recent months have clearly shown how damaging uncertainty in global trade is for European businesses." NOW WHAT? That imbalance - or what the trade negotiators have been calling "asymmetry" - is manifest in the final deal. Not only is it expected that the EU will now call off any retaliation and remain open to U.S. goods on existing terms, but it has also pledged $600 billion of investment in the United States. The time-frame for that remains undefined, as do other details of the accord for now. As talks unfolded, it became clear that the EU came to the conclusion it had more to lose from all-out confrontation. The retaliatory measures it threatened totalled some 93 billion euros - less than half its U.S. goods trade surplus of nearly 200 billion euros. True, a growing number of EU capitals were also ready to envisage wide-ranging anti-coercion measures that would have allowed the bloc to target the services trade in which the United States had a surplus of some $75 billion last year. But even then, there was no clear majority for targeting the U.S. digital services which European citizens enjoy and for which there are scant homegrown alternatives - from Netflix to Uber to Microsoft cloud services. It remains to be seen whether this will encourage European leaders to accelerate the economic reforms and diversification of trading allies to which they have long paid lip service but which have been held back by national divisions. Describing the deal as a painful compromise that was an "existential threat" for many of its members, Germany's BGA wholesale and export association said it was time for Europe to reduce its reliance on its biggest trading partner. "Let's look on the past months as a wake-up call," said BGA President Dirk Jandura. "Europe must now prepare itself strategically for the future - we need new trade deals with the biggest industrial powers of the world."
