BENEFIT payment dates are often affected by bank holidays throughout the year. The month of May brings not just one but two extra days off for many workers in the form of bank holidays. The first May bank holiday falls on Monday, May 3 this year, while the second falls on Monday, May 31. Both Mondays will therefore not be working days for plenty of workers so the processing of payments will unlikely take place as normal. This means some benefit claimants will get their cash on other dates than usual. Here's everything you need to know about how the extra days off will affect your benefit payments: When will my benefits be paid over the first May bank holiday? The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has confirmed that tax credit payment dates will change over the early May bank holiday. Households who would expect to be paid tax credits on Monday, May 3, will instead be paid on the last working day before the bank holiday.

SINGAPORE - The 5Cs of the Singaporean dream once went as follows: cash, car, credit card, condominium and country club membership. But these aspirations no longer resonate with younger Singaporeans today, noted Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat during a speech in which he suggested three new Cs to shape the country's future.

"Aspirations evolve, and your generation have your own aspirations," Mr Heng told students at the Singapore University of Technology and Design's (SUTD's) Ministerial Forum on Friday (April 16).

The early offshore release dates reflect the recovery of — and confidence in — certain markets, notably in Asia, where it’s been demonstrated that audiences are eager to return to cinemas when there is major product available. And F9 certainly fits that event-level bill. In total, the Fast Saga has grossed nearly $6B globally across nine films and over $4B internationally.
