Read the original article on mirror.co.uk (opens in a new tab)The Mirror reports the DWP's annual Christmas Bonus: who qualifies, the qualifying week, the list of benefits, how it is paid and what to do if it does not arrive. It gives the amount plainly as £10 and says it has not changed since 1972. Nothing in it misleads the reader.
“First introduced back in 1972, the bonus remains unchanged to this day at £10.”
The Mirror tells the reader early that the payment is only £10 and has not risen since 1972. A reader drawn in by a headline about a payment to millions learns its true size at once.
“You don't need to apply for the Christmas Bonus - it should arrive automatically.”
The Mirror gives readers the practical fact that no application is needed. This matches the DWP practice described in other coverage and protects readers from scams asking them to apply.
“get in touch with the Jobcentre Plus office handling your payments or contact the Pension Service”
The Mirror points readers who are missing the payment to the official channels, with a clear date of January 1, rather than leaving them without a route.
