🎄 Christmas is coming, and so are some changes to your benefits! If you’re receiving payments from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), here’s what you need to know.
💰 The festive season often brings early payments due to bank holidays. If your benefit payout is scheduled on a holiday, expect it a bit earlier. For Christmas Day payments, look out for them on December 24, and for New Year’s Day, on December 31!
🎁 Eligible individuals can also expect a £10 Christmas bonus, automatically dished out in the first full week of December. It’s a little something extra to help with seasonal costs.
✨ But that’s not all! Winter support like the winter fuel payment, warm home discount, and cold weather payments are also available for some. These additional benefits aim to ease the financial pressures that come with the colder months.
To qualify for the Christmas bonus, you must be receiving one of several benefits, including Adult or Child Disability Payments, Armed Forces Independence Payment, Attendance Allowance, Carer’s Allowance, and more. If you think you’ve missed your £10 bonus by January, get in touch with your Jobcentre Plus or Pension Service office.
🔍 Stay ahead of the curve by checking government resources for more details on eligibility and payments. Don’t let the holiday hustle leave you guessing!
