UNIVERSAL Credit claimants will receive an extra cash bonus on top of the £650 cost of living payment that will be hitting Brits bank accounts next month.
In December, millions of people who claim Universal Credit and other benefits will be able to get their hands on an extra Christmas bonus cash boost.
The Department for Work and Pensions will give out a one-off tax-free £10 payment made before Christmas.
To get the Christmas bonus you need to get one of the qualifying benefits along with Universal Credit and you need to be getting it in what’s known as the qualifying week, which is usually the first week of December.
Meanwhile Martin Lewis this week urged anyone aged 45 to 70 to find out if they can boost their state pension up to £5,800 – but you need to act quickly as this perk of the scheme ends in April 2023.
