Specific group of older people will not qualify for annual DWP bonus due before Christmas
Millions of people across Great Britain in receipt of State Pension or benefits will receive a bonus payment from the Department for Work and Pensions in December. The annual ‘Christmas Bonus’ is a one-off, tax-free £10 payment made to those who meet the eligibility criteria during a specific qualifying period, which is typically the first full week of December.
It’s worth noting the DWP will make this as a separate payment, independent of your usual one, so it may arrive on a different day. Nobody needs to claim the extra £10 as it should automatically go into the account where you usually receive your benefit payments or state Pension and will show as ‘DWP XB’ on your bank statement.
People in Scotland claiming the new Adult Disability Payment or Child Disability Payment will also be eligible for the payment - but it will come from DWP and not Social Security Scotland.
