Hi,

I have just received my letter advising of the changes to benefit rates as from April 2013.

In the breakdown on the last page it says "Christmas Bonus payment of £0.00"

I have searched and cannot find anything online which confirms that we are no longer going to receive £10 for Christmas. Does anyone here know anything about this?

A friend of mine has also received the same letter so I know its not just a mistake on my letter, we are both in the support group.

Thanks :)

Hi t,

No, the Xmas Bonus has not stopped.

It may be due to the fact that you receive IR ESA rather than CB ESA.

Here is a list of benefits that would also qualify you for payment of The Xmas Bonus :

Thanks for the reply.

No, I receive CB ESA. I think it must be a typo, its just wierd that my friend who lives in a different part of the country received the same letter with 0.00 xmas bonus. I was wondering if this was something that everyone was getting?

I also receive DLA so I guess if for some bizarre reason they have removed my ESA payment, I will still get it for DLA.

Things are weird and wonderful with the DWP presently, it would seem that you are entitled to The Xmas Bonus.

Very strange... I received it in previous years no problem! I shall just disregard what they are saying in my letter then.

Thanks again.
