Christmas Bonus?

I get my pension weekly and the £10 was included

Cabbie 21 - mine did.

Mine came separately, into my bank about a week ago.

Mine has arrived. Paid as a separate item.
Oh wow! what can I treat myself to.
Maybe put it towards my fuel bills.

Hade mine today. No idea what to treat myself with it 😁. Probably just go towards my bills 🤣. Merry Christmas everyone 🎄

It came today it’s definitely separate to your pension.

Hi my husbands and I both receive as separate payments it’s never been added to our pension payment

I have never received a Christmas bonus, don’t know why. When I have looked online to find who to contact about it it just says no need to contact it is paid automatically.But It never has been to me. Enjoy those of you that do receive it.

Write to your MP and ask them to write to DWP on your behalf. My MP sorted out something for me.

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

Me too BUT we must not spend it all at once ! Just be careful because it is all this gov will give us. Starmer's gold plated pension has to be provided for....

Got mine.It is enough to buy 3 pints in Wetherspoons.When it was introduced it would buy around 30 pints!

To be honest, I had forgotten all about it.

Just checked and mine arrived today, husband got his 2 weeks ago.
Maybe it is alphabetical?
I used my maiden name at work so as far as the DWP is concerned husband’s surname is at the start of the alphabet and mine is near the end.

I think it's random. Maybe the DWP play a sort of Secret Santa at Christmas!

I "gratefully" received mine weeks ago and celebrated the overflowing generosity of the DWP by trying to calculate how many minutes of electricity it might stretch to......

I’ve got mine. Not sure what I can do with it but will try hard for a little treat. Husband may get with his pension on Boxing Day? No guarantee.

Mine arrived today as well.

Yes had mine

No and it’s the 19th.

It definitely does not come merged with your pension! Always a separate payment. DWPXB is the code which shows on your bank statement, it’s easy to miss! Got mine a couple of weeks ago, but my name begins with B, could be alphabetical!

Mine came through on its own

I received mine today as did dh , and it was separate from my pension

Ivehqd mine but my husband hasn't.

Hello, I received mine today, my husband received his weeks ago.

Payment date is to do with your National Insurance Number, I can't remember exactly how but think it's to do with the last 2 numbers
