Anyone else not had their £10? Just notice I've not received it. I was going to treat myself 😉

Yes, DH and I had ours several days ago.

rosie1959 Wed 18-Dec-24 17:57:19

My husband hasn't had his either. I don't qualify yet lol

rafichagran Wed 18-Dec-24 17:58:15

Nor me.

I received mine on 19th December last year. Haven't received it yet this year.

It is merged with your pension. It does not come as a separate £10 payment.

Not for me or my husband. Listed as separate £10 payments on our bank account. We both got them the same day Monday 2nd December.

Cabbie21 Wed 18-Dec-24 18:06:17

Oh, sorry! I just noticed my pension was £10 more than usual. Weird.

Kate1949 Wed 18-Dec-24 18:06:52

We both had ours on 2nd December. Ours is always a separate payment, as it was this year.

Cabbie21 Wed 18-Dec-24 18:10:17

Looks like I need to re-check. Thanks.

tanith Wed 18-Dec-24 18:14:08

It’s always been a separate payment for me. I’ll wait with bated breath!

Beechnut Wed 18-Dec-24 18:14:29

Mine also came as a separate payment on the same day as pension in early December.

crazyH Wed 18-Dec-24 18:15:20

No

Astitchintime Wed 18-Dec-24 18:31:31

Both ours were paid separately from our state pensions on 2nd December.

NotAGran55 Wed 18-Dec-24 18:35:23

Had mine separately on 10th December.

JamesandJon33 Wed 18-Dec-24 18:36:01

One came, separately from my pension, last month .

Georgesgran Wed 18-Dec-24 18:37:36

Always separate for me (old pension?) and yes, I’ve already got mine.

FlitterMouse Wed 18-Dec-24 18:42:52

£10 credited Monday 2 December 2024 as DWP XB. My SP is always paid on a Monday as my NINo ends in 04 so assuming XB is done the same way. Last year it was paid on Monday 4 December.

Mine wasn't merged with my normal pension. I've just looked at my online account and it's a pending payment due to be paid tomorrow as a separate payment.

Katyj Wed 18-Dec-24 19:02:07

Mines separate too. Pending payment due to be paid tomorrow.

Treebee Wed 18-Dec-24 19:02:24

Yes, came as a separate payment.

I wonder what we have in common, according to the DWP?

DeeAitch56 Thu 19-Dec-24 13:31:08

My husband got his today, paid separately from his State pension, I’m still awaiting mine

Last Christmas the Conservatives paid pensioners a Cost of Living payment. It was a one-off but Labour have not said one word about it and I don't notice any difference in the cost of living.
