Thousands will be affected
Thousands of benefits claimants are set to miss out on this year's Christmas bonus, despite the rising cost of living. According to the Department for Work and Pensions, around 22 million people are claiming some form of benefits in the UK.
In addition to their usual monthly payments, millions of claimants will also receive a £10 Christmas bonus. This is a scheme that has run for several years, where people in receipt of state pension or certain DWP benefits receive the one-off and tax free payment.Those who receive the payment, must meet the eligibility during a specific qualifying period, which is typically the first full week of December.
