Күн бұрынA spirited petition is calling for a festive upgrade to the DWP's £10 Christmas Bonus, which seems to be stuck in a time warp since its launch in 1972! With inflation soaring higher than Santa’s sleigh, this jolly little perk would be worth over £165 today. More than 12,300 merry supporters have signed the online petition, urging the UK Government to sprinkle a bit of extra cheer on this long-standing payment that helps those in need, especially during the most expensive time of year.
Shona McMahon, the mastermind behind the petition, points out that Christmas can be a real budget buster for pensioners and vulnerable individuals, especially now that energy assistance has been cut. With the £10 bonus remaining unchanged for over five decades, it’s high time for a festive makeover! After all, everyone deserves a little extra joy and support to make their holiday season brighter.
