    I can confirm my £10 'bonus' has arrived now, and it was paid separately from my PIP.

    Not just removed them, but stripped it bare is a reasonable assumption😂Still we live and learn what is allowed or not in my case. The best thing you could do on this forum is get rid of the flag button and let people have a real discussion.

    I usually get pip at the end of the month so wondering if it will come around then

    II am thinking the same thing. I normally get a letter to let me know but wish they did not bother. The letter is a waste of money.

    That isn't really possible. PIP is paid on a different date every month with it being 4-weekly. It'll only be near the end two or three times a year.

    As it happens though, my £10 was paid about 2 weeks after my last PIP payment, so I don't think it's directly connected to that.

    There is something cute about the bonus.. it doesn’t go as far as it would have years ago..but a gesture it is.. and grateful I am.

    @Andi66 I got a mini-statement at the bank and I have got my Christmas Bonus £10 (it is detailed XB and paid 15th December) 🎄👍

    I nearly drew it out with the excitement to go to a pub with a nice live fire for a couple of malt whiskies 🍷🍷(medicinal purposes) but refrained....

    Still haven't, I'm reluctant to phone as I read on benefits and work they sending out review forms, mines not up until 30, but it might trigger it if I phone

    Point taken. There is still time for the £10 bonus, keep checking this week. Paid up to Christmas according to the internet.
