Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what assessment he has made of the potential effect of the recent Thanksgiving holiday in the United States on the ability of pensioners abroad to receive their weekly state pension.
This question was answered on 2nd December 2021
We wish all Americans a happy Thanksgiving.
Payments to British citizens living overseas in countries other than the United States were not impacted by the recent Thanksgiving Holiday.
Payment dates will only be impacted where they land on a Bank Holiday in the country of residence and in this instance payment is made on the next available working day.
