What you need to know about the DWP Christmas bonus and who can get it.

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) provides an annual £10 Christmas Bonus to qualifying claimants.

This one-off payment is intended to offer a modest financial lift to help with expenses during the festive season.

The Christmas Bonus is distributed automatically to those who meet the criteria, which means recipients don't have to make any formal application.

This simplifies the procedure and guarantees the payment reaches eligible individuals effectively, reports the Liverpool Echo .

Qualification is strictly based on whether a person is in receipt of a qualifying benefit during a particular "qualifying week."

This vital week is usually specified by the DWP as the first complete week in December.
