This is a one-off, tax-free £10 payment made to people in receipt of State Pension or 20 DWP benefits
Figures shared by the Department for Work and Pensions show that in February there were 22 million people across the UK claiming at least one benefit. That number includes nearly 12.5 million older people now in receipt of State Pension payments, a contributory benefit only available to those of retirement age with at least 10 years’ worth of National Insurance Contributions.
It’s worth noting that the DWP will make this as a separate payment, independent of your usual one, so it may arrive on a different day. People in Scotland claiming the new Adult Disability Payment will also be eligible for the payment this year. Who is eligible for the £10 Christmas Bonus? To qualify for the Christmas Bonus you must be living in the UK, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Gibraltar, any European Economic Area country, or Switzerland during the qualifying week, which this year is expected to be December 5 - 11.
