DWP Christmas bonus to reach banks of Universal Credit, PIP and DLA claimants 'within days'

People who are currently claiming certain types of benefits could soon receive a boost within just days. And for many, this will come just in time for Christmas

According to LancsLive, recipients of Universal Credit and other benefits including Personal Independence Payments (PIP) and Disability Living Allowance (DLA) can expect the extra cash boost within days.

In addition to the £650 cost of living support payment by the DWP, which has been divided into two payments of £326 and £324 for those on means-tested benefits, they will also get the cash boost. The extra money hopes to help those hit hardest by the cost of living crisis with the DWP giving benefit claimants an extra Christmas bonus next month.
