The one-off payment is made each Christmas by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP)
The Department for Work and Pensions is poised to deliver a helping hand in the form of a one-off Christmas bonus to millions who are eligible. This seasonal benefit top-up of £10 will go to various claimants receiving certain benefits and aims to provide some respite during the costly festive period.
Look out for 'DWP XB' as the transaction descriptor on bank statements indicative of this payout, reports the Express. Furthermore, for couples who are married, in civil partnerships, or cohabiting, and both receive a qualifying benefit, they can each anticipate their own Christmas Bonus payment.
