Christmas Bonus?

Mine arrived as a separate payment on 2nd December.

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

Mine was a separate payment, landed in my bank account on 2 December.

DH had his a few weeks ago. They probably have a system to enable the money to go out very slowly, instead of to everyone at the same time

Separate payment - got mine on 2nd December.

I received mine today, same day as last year. Husband's surname is just after mine alphabetically and he got his couple of weeks ago.

Yes I have at the end of last month!

Yes, I had mine last week (w/c 9/12, can't remember which day). Husband still hasn't had his, so they obviously don't make the payments in alphabetical order! If you had a payment last year, I guess it's just a case of waiting until "the system" grinds its weary way to your name.

Yes, ours came separately from our pensions too, last month I think.

I have mine now, hmmmm! what treat shall I have?

I have now re-checked and I received an extra £10 in with my SRP at the beginning of December, not separately.
Glad my memory is not failing me.

🤣

growstuff maybe we’re the same age. I’m 67

I'm not.

Yes we had our earlier in December £10 each. Thank you Maggie. More than you get from this miserable bunch we have in power at the moment.

tanith enjoy your treat when the money arrives because I would put my pension on that in the next budget, it will be removed, as will the extra 25 p a week added to the state pension when one is 80.

I would not be surprised if she tried to means test the state pension.

She does not think we need the money! My money is in my house as I live on the outskirts of London, but amazingly I am expected to pay all bills. I do not receive any freebies, unlike her.

Mine comes as separate payment, always has. Perhaps newbies get theirs incorporated into pension payment.

Just had mine in account this am 19th December. My friend got hers start of Dec. I did check my statement from 2023 and it was same date as above. You can't complain about not receiving until after 1st January so hopefully it will arrive before then. 🎄

It was included in state pension on 3rd December!!

The £10 Christmas bonus arrived in my bank account today 🎄

It comes as a separate £10 into bank account

Yes had mine. Went to the Mayor's local charities fund raiser.
No way was I going to use it. Surprised it's not been stopped too.

I received mine early this month. My surname is near the beginning alphabetically so that may make a difference.

Mine has always been separate from my pension and I got it 10 days ago.

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.

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