DWP Christmas bonus

The DWP Christmas bonus is a one-off payment of £10 that is paid to people who are receiving certain benefits in the qualifying week. The qualifying week is the first full week of December.
To be eligible for the Christmas bonus, you must be present or "ordinarily resident" in the UK, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, or Gibraltar on the qualifying date. You must also be in receipt of one of the following benefits:
* Income Support
* Jobseeker's Allowance
* Employment and Support Allowance
* Pension Credit
* Universal Credit
* Working Tax Credit
* Child Tax Credit
* Disability Living Allowance
* Personal Independence Payment
* Attendance Allowance
* Carer's Allowance
* Widowed Parent's Allowance
* Bereavement Support Payment
The Christmas bonus is paid automatically to people who are eligible. You do not need to apply for it. The payment will be made into your bank account or building society account.
The Christmas bonus is a tax-free payment. It will not affect your other benefits.
The Christmas bonus is a small but welcome financial boost for many people. It can help to cover the extra costs of Christmas, such as food, presents, and travel.
If you are eligible for the Christmas bonus, make sure that you check your bank account or building society account in the first week of December to see if the payment has been made.
