Had ro laugh The dwp giving out payments for Christmas you don't have to apply it will be automatically sent I cant wait ! That's a pint of milk sorted been the same payment since 1972 I'd rather them not give and put towards winter fuel payments but I'm sure that wouldn't be enough it's killing me the thought of someone suffering

It does seem a little silly that it's stayed at £10 @Catherine21! But every little helps!

It's not nice to think of anyone suffering, but I don't think swapping Christmas bonuses will go too far towards replacing winter fuel payments.

For some people that £10 can help them have a slightly tastier meal or buy a little present for themselves or a loved one, so it does make a difference to some people even though it's not a large amount 😊

You can always donate the £10 Christmas bonus to a charity. We have a church nearby that puts on a cooked meal 3 days a week and they are always happy to receive a donation. I'm sure there are other ones nationwide.
