in Money and bills

why does the DWP do this? I’m genuinely confused lol? But I guess £10 is £10 I won’t spend it stupidly.
but I never understood to be honest.

    I would imagine the Salvation Army etc would be glad of any donations, especially at this time of year.

    I actually donated to 3 charities this year. And my latest one was to help kids who don’t get presents etc two others where for cancer

    It has been £10 since it's inception in 1972 - when it would have actually be useful

    Buying power would now need £120 which I can't ever see DWP paying up
