Three key benefits that YOU could be missing out on, and one even gives you a free TV Licence
If you are not sure if you have received the payment before, check on your bank statements for a code which says "DWP XB".Contribution-based Employment and Support Allowance TO YOUR BENEFITIt is not exactly clear when the money will appear, but the DWP does say that if you think you should get it and the money hasn’t come through by January 1, you must contact your local Jobcentre Plus office.
And bear in mind that your partner who is claiming must also be entitled to an increase in their qualifying benefit. If the payment had risen in line with inflation, it would now be worth a bumper £114.95 - enough to cover the cost of a big shop for the family. If an increase in benefit is paid for an adult partner that should be shown on the benefit award letters sent out annually, or when the benefit was first claimed.If the benefit is pension credit the award letter will say something like "amount for you and your partner".
