State pensioners are set to wake up to early payments from the Department for Work and Pensions ( DWP ). State pensioners who normally receive their state pension on Christmas Day, Boxing Day or New Year's Day will see their money arrive earlier than scheduled.

Anyone due a payment on Thursday 25 December (Christmas Day) should instead receive it on Wednesday 24 December (Christmas Eve). And any retirees due a payment on Friday, 26 December (Boxing Day) should also receive it on Christmas Eve.

State pensioners scheduled for January 1, will receive their payment on New Year's Eve. The Labour Party government website confirms: "You might be paid earlier if your normal payment day is a bank holiday."
