DWP Christmas Bonus Increase from £10 to £165 – DWP issues update after 20,600 signed petition
A petition urging the DWP to increase its Christmas Bonus from £10 to £165 has gained over 20,600 signatures, reflecting public frustration over the unchanged amount since 1972. Rising living costs and inflation have rendered the current bonus less meaningful for many recipients. Despite this, the DWP maintains that budget constraints make an increase challenging.
