Campaigners have called for the DWP to increase the Christmas Bonus which, should be worth £114 if it had increased with inflation
The DWP has issued an update on a £114 payment that families could receive ahead of Christmas. This would be a welcome payment to families on certain benefits ahead of the festive season.
'Christmas is THE most expensive time of year' More than 22,000 people have signed the petition that calls for an increase in the Christmas Bonus. The petition reads: 'Christmas is THE most expensive time of year! Pensioners, the vulnerable & people like myself, disabled, could do with an extra boost at this time of year, especially as the energy assistance has been axed.'
