Across the UK, approximately 22.7 million individuals are claiming at least one benefit from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).

This figure includes nearly 12.7 million older people receiving State Pension payments, a contributory benefit only available to those of retirement age with at least 10 years' worth of National Insurance Contributions.

However, many people - including new retirees - may not be aware of an annual bonus paid to those on certain benefits before Christmas, which might come in handy during the colder months.

The 'Christmas Bonus' is a one-off, tax-free £10 payment made to people in receipt of State Pension or those claiming certain other benefits including Personal Independence Payment (PIP), Attendance Allowance and Carer's Allowance - if they meet the eligibility criteria during a specific qualifying period, which is typically the first full week in December.
