Might be the Xmas bonus lol wooo I haven’t got mines I don’t think I thought it would of come with the usual payment or is it just a random 10 pound they just put in @poppy123456 would know
-
It is your Christmas bonus, don't spend it all at once
-
Oh lol I never knew there was a Christmas bonus ?
-
Yeh there’s a Xmas bonus not sure if I got mines I’ll check does every one get one on the same day
-
@cupcake88 I’m not sure as I never knew there was one. I’m not due my pip until 2 weeks today this has just been a separate payment
-
Yay I got mines yesterday .
-
I just checked

Yes the Xmas bonus that's been out since the early 1970's that has never increased lol. Indeed, don't spend it all at once. My daughter had her's today but i haven't had mine yet. It's usually automatically paid to those that are eligible and can be anytime from now.
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. -
As above its the xmas bonus introduced in 1973 at £10 a year, had it increased with inflation it would be about £140 now.2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡

Still waiting for mine to appear.

Got mine yesterday too. Didn't get one last year (on ESA alone) so not sure what happened to it! Previously it came within the ESA payment. This year it came alone under the 'PIP' title. Not sure if they've changed the process or if some of you will still get it in different ways.

It does seem a random payment, my wife who is my carer and on carers allowance should get the extra £10 for some reason missed out on it last year, so we will see what happens in the next week or so.

There will be a lot of people still not had it and i'm one of them, although my daughter had her's last week. There's plenty of time to receive it still. Just so that you're aware, it's not always paid separately, sometimes it's added to an existing benefit payment, especially as you're claiming ESA.

Hi Poppy,
thank you for getting back to me so quickly, it’s nice to know I’m not alone in still waiting.
