flag UK to advance benefit payments in Dec 2025, add £10 Christmas bonus, delay PIP reforms.

flag The UK’s Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) will move benefit payment dates forward in late December 2025 to avoid bank holidays, ensuring recipients get payments on the last working day before Christmas. flag A one-off £10 tax-free Christmas bonus will be automatically issued to millions receiving qualifying benefits like State Pension and Personal Independence Payment (PIP), based on residency during the first full week of December. flag PIP payments will rise by 3.8% in April 2026, aligning with inflation, with the final rate confirmed in November. flag The DWP has paused planned PIP reforms pending a review expected by autumn 2026.
