Christmas Bonus
7 years 5 months ago #174058 by petrocelli 
Hi all
Anyone know when they might condescend to pay it this year, as in before or after Christmas?
Also, is the £30 reduction in ESA announced on BBC yesterday for new claimants only?
Have needed to considerably reduce stress levels for a while so only occasionally dip in and out of B&W site, so forgive me if I've repeated already covered topics.
Feel I need to increase my contact with B&W again in light of the threatened changes to those in Support Group in 2017. Like so many like me, after hard fought battle got SG til March 2019 but I suspect that's now irrelevant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's supposed to be paid in the first payment of an applicable benefit after the first week of December, if that makes sense

I got it in ESA and PIP last year, so rang up to say they had given it me twice. The person thanked me for being honest as it rarely happened. All I can think is others are less frightened of repercussions than I am, begger honesty! lol They have done it again this year.
Merry Christmas everyone
