Overview

• The one‑off £10 payment will show on bank statements as “DWP XB.”
• To qualify, claimants must be present or ordinarily resident in the UK, Channel Islands, Isle of Man or Gibraltar during the qualifying week.
• Universal Credit on its own does not qualify a household, so recipients must also receive a listed benefit to get the bonus.
• Qualifying benefits include the State Pension, Personal Independence Payment, Attendance Allowance, Carer’s Allowance and other disability and war pension-related payments.
• Those who believe they qualify but do not receive the payment should contact Jobcentre Plus or The Pension Service.
