Christmas bonus to be paid to many who get DWP benefits - full list

Some people who receive benefits from the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) are set to get a Christmas bonus this year. Those who qualify will get an extra £10 in their bank account at the start of December.

Anyone who is eligible will get the payment automatically, said the DWP, with no need to claim it, reports the Mirror. Brits who are in receipt of certain benefits in the "qualifying week" - usually the first full week of December - will get the extra tenner.

However, they must also be "ordinarily resident" in the UK, Channel Islands, Isle of Man or Gibraltar during the qualifying week.
