This will be a lifeline for so many
Benefits claimants will receive a one off Christmas bonus payment to help with the costs over the festive season. People, who are on certain benefits, will have to check their bank accounts as they are set to receive an extra £10.
The Department for Work and Pensions states that the payment is paid automatically. The bonus payment is on top of normal benefits and will be paid normally in the first week of December, reports Chronicle Live. This payment will be more important than ever for struggling families who may be worrying about their bills and whether they will be able to afford Chfristmas this year.Most people on Universal Credit should get the Christmas Bonus but people who just get Universal Credit and no other benefits will not, reports Birmingham Live.
The Government says: "The Christmas Bonus is a one-off tax-free £10 payment made before Christmas, paid to people who get certain benefits in the qualifying week. This is normally the first full week of December. You do not need to claim - you should get paid automatically."
