    Don't think I've had mine. Maybe on Monday 10 Dec when next pension payment is due.

    How old do you have to be to get this and what benefit do you have to be receiving?

    My wife had hers last week and she is 75 and claims the highest rate of Attendance Allowance.
    I (70) get no disability benefits and lost our Pension Credit earlier this year.

    hi @Yadnad, I  think you should find all the information you need on website below as I just checked to see if I was entitled. However feel free to correct me anyone if I am wrong. ?
    https://www.gov.uk/christmas-bonus/eligibility
    Based on that info I should be getting it also and certainly since my 65th birthday in 2013.

    Time for a strongly worded letter of complaint requesting the current payment and £50 to cover the past 5 years!

    Thanks for the advice.

    @Yadnad; Are you sure you haven't had it?  I can't believe you haven't checked all your accounts forensically.

    Nope just been through the past 3 years worth of statements and it does not appear. I didn't give it a moment's notice assuming that the £10 my wife has been receiving was for both of us.

    No, you should definitely be getting it yourself.  It wouldn't usually appear as a separate payment.  Just added on to a December payment.  I am surprised you've let that one slip through the net all this time!

    Mine is always paid separately and so was my daughters last year.

    I'm going to have to check now!  I was probably talking nonsense!

    Well if it was added to my PIP or the Pension Credit in previous years I would not have noticed. It's not such an amount that would stand out. But why then does my wife get hers paid separately?

    It's only the 9th December and you could receive the £10 anytime in December.

    Two of my 3 has got theirs one over a week ago and the other yesterday and yes it paid separately from their DLA and Pip and I get a letter informing me it's their Christmas bonus

    I just checked ours.  Last year it was added to the normal payments of DLA and Carers.  This year my Carers payment is added on, but my younger child's PIP bonus came separately.  So, could be either way!

    I wouldn't worry because you've received it now.
