Hi @cupcake88 yes that is correct as the 28th will be a bank holiday as boxing day falls on a sat the official bank holiday will be monday 28th so that is why you will get paid early
Yes there is usually a £10 bonus sometimes you get this as a separate payment but sometimes in eith your normal payment -
Oh that’s good to know thank you xx

Don't forget also that your January payment will be paid as normal, so 4 weeks from 28th December and not 4 weeks from 24th December. This makes your January payment due on 25th.
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. -
Being paid on the 24th won't really make any difference overall. Too late to buy anything online, the shops will all be rammed that day, closed the next and then rammed again on Boxing day. I certainly wouldn't want be out shopping over xmas lol!
Do you get one £10 bonus per person or per benefit out of interest? So if you're on both ESA and PIP, do you get 2 bonusses?

There's 1 Xmas bonus over all, even if you're claiming other benefits that qualify you.

Thanks for that info poppy and thanks janner xx
i know I was thinking that ha I have done all my Xmas shopping I just need to do Xmas food shopping which I’ll do nearer the time . -
Its strange really some years back we changed from doing our xmas food shop on the 24th when it was bedlam to doing it on the 23rd which is now worse than the 24th used to be, seems everybody had the same idea, so this week we have started buying non perishable xmas treats so we only have the fresh stuff to get on the 23rd.2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡

You never know when to do your Xmas shop whether it’s gonna be too busy or whether or the food will be gone off the shelves ,
I’ll prob get on my Xmas snacks on Xmas eve but shop before hand for food .
