Benefit claimants are being urged to keep an eye on their bank accounts next week as they could be in line for a Christmas bonus.
People on certain benefits will receive an extra £10 from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) to help with costs over the festive season. The Christmas Bonus is on top of normal benefits and separate from cost of living support measures which have been announced by the Government.
And it will be more important than ever this year for struggling families worrying about how they are going to afford Christmas while paying their bills. The Government says the tax-free £10 payment should enter bank accounts of those who are eligible during the first week of December.
