The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) said it purposely sends out benefits "earlier than usual" in the lead up to Christmas to help those in receipt to "prepare for the festive period". The response follows on from campaigning for the ?10 DWP Christmas Bonus payment to be increased in line with the cost of living rising.

A very worthy cause, BT. I will take a look. It does sadden me that people can get cosmetic surgery on the NHS because they are mentally traumatised by the shape of their nose whilst children needing life changing surgery rely on charity.

What a world.
