    Not receiving money into your bank during the qualifying week does not mean you don't qualify. Providing you're claiming one of the qualifying benefits during the qualifying week will qualify you.
    As previously advised, it's paid sometime in December and everyone will receive it at different dates. Myself and my daughter haven't received it yet. Try to relax it's £10, you will receive it eventually.

    I just need £10 man

    You will get it in December like already advised. Unfortunately you can’t make them pay it any quicker.

    It's not late. The qualifying week doesn't mean you'll receive it that week. It can be anytime from now until the end of December. Remember, you're not the only person that's entitled to it and we all have to wait.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    Bit extreme over £10. You still have quite a few days to receive it.

    Just thought I’d jump on and say I got mine on Monday this week, I was expecting last week but wasn’t bothered because I knew it’d come. I’m not due a payment till Friday either so was nice for it to come in separate lol.

    This week I witnessed a woman break down in full, heart-wrenching sobs of gratitude over someone letting her keep £6 change from a copy of the Big Issue. 
    She broke down in the middle of a busy high street and cried, hugging the donor and explaining that they don't know how much it meant. 

    Please remember that while £10 may not seem a lot to some of us, it can mean the world of difference to another.

    Can't see that ringing will achieve anything other than divert whoever answers the phone from hewing somebody else. The bonus payments are presumably processed automatically.

    As advised several times the payment is not yet late.
    https://www.gov.uk/christmas-bonus
    The Christmas Bonus is a one-off tax-free £10 payment made before Christmas. 
    There are still 10 days to go before it is late.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.

    It may only be £10 but everyone is lucky to get even that a lot of the people who are working don't get any Christmas bonus

    If you are concerned about your mole you need to seek medical advice.

    Yes and as I’ve said before mine has already been donated to a local food bank with a little extra which isn’t only providing a Christmas dinner and presents to homeless but low income families and as far as I am aware 5 families who have parents which work are attending, I seen the appeal on Facebook. Disgrace we live in this kind of world and even worse if wages aren’t covering the cost of living, I doubt the increase in wages and benefits next year will do much either with the cost of energy, council tax and the new NI rises. I am lucky as I will be in the position to afford food, gas & electricity and afford to have a roof over my head and TV & WiFi. I’ll always back these causes that help the poor since we can all unfortunately slip through the net and end up like that ourselves.

    Hi @tcellmutation

    How are you getting on? Is your mole still causing you some concern? As mentioned earlier on this thread, it might be worth speaking with your GP if you are worried about it. There is also an NHS page here about moles, which contains some useful guidance.

    I hope you receive your £10 bonus soon, it seems as though you're extremely keen to get hold of it. Is there any particular reason why that is, or do you just want it out of the way so you don't need to worry about getting it paid in?
