A Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) bonus payment is being offered to millions of Universal Credit and other benefit claimants. This is in addition to the cost of living payments, as those hit hardest by soaring inflation receive some extra much-needed support.
Following an earlier payment of £326 as part of the government's cost of living support package, the second cost of living instalment will see people receive £324 next month, the Echo reports. On top of this, many are due to be handed a Christmas bonus, which will go out to people who claim Universal Credit and other benefits.
The financial package should arrive to those eligible in December. It should be received automatically, meaning nothing needs to be done to claim it for those who qualify for it.
