🎄 Holiday Cheers Incoming for Pension and PIP Claimants! 🎄
Great news for those who claim certain benefits! Before Christmas, a festive £10 Christmas Bonus will be credited to accounts, brightening up the season without adding a penny to your tax. This one-off boost will be automatically deposited, no strings attached, and it’s all thanks to this long-standing tradition that dates back to 1972.
Who’s in for this yuletide surprise? If you’re receiving benefits like the State Pension, Personal Independence Payments (PIP), Attendance Allowance, or Carer’s Allowance, you’re likely on the list. With qualifications verified during the first week of December, there’s no need for you to lift a finger or fill out a single form – the bonus will simply appear, usually marked as ‘DWP XB’ on your statement.
In total, about 24 million people in Britain are currently getting some kind of benefit from DWP, with a potential £10 cheer to spread around for those eligible. As we count down to the Christmas spirit, this little gift offers a warm dose of nostalgia, even though it hasn’t increased in value for over 50 years. (In today’s terms, it’d be a neat £118!)
If you’re part of a couple or in a civil partnership, it’s double the joy as both can receive the bonus, provided certain conditions are met. Keep an eye out for any DWP correspondence confirming your bonus, though it might even arrive before you get the official notification.
For those curious about the full list of qualifying benefits, the criteria or any further details, you can check out the info on GOV.UK. So, get ready for some holiday smiles in your bank balance and enjoy this little extra, courtesy of the festive spirit! 💷✨
