DWP Christmas Bonus: Claim Your Payment and Spread the Holiday Cheer
The festive season is fast approaching, and for many, it's a time for joy, togetherness, and of course, some extra spending money. If you're receiving certain benefits from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), you might be eligible for a special Christmas bonus payment to help make the holidays a little brighter.
Who is Eligible for the DWP Christmas Bonus?
This year, the Christmas bonus will be paid automatically to people receiving:
- Pension Credit
- Income Support
- Jobseeker's Allowance (Income-based)
- Employment and Support Allowance (Income-related)

Important Note: If you receive any of the above benefits but are also receiving a severe disability premium, you will not receive the Christmas bonus.
How Much is the Christmas Bonus?
The DWP Christmas bonus is a one-off payment of £10 for the 2023 festive season.
When Will I Receive the Payment?
