carers £60????
Comments
-
I wasn't aware that there was any connection between the Xmas bonus and the January supplement.
I can't find any mention of anything but State Pension (£60) and Child Benefit (£22) in the Pre-Budget Report itself.
A quick google brings up one or two carers' websites that show a list of benefits but they don't say where they got the information from.0 -
Hmmm so carers will be an extra £60 wicked, does anybody know if the CB extra is per child or per family?
Many thanksDebt free and plan on staying that way!!!!0 -
How much do you get?
Christmas Bonus is a one-off payment of £10. For 2008 an additional payment of £60 will be paid between January 2009 and March 2009.

Really?? It would be brilliant if that was the case - but I'll hold off celebrating until I actually see it.....
I'm not going to add it into my budget either so I'm not disappointed (but will have my fingers crossed behind my back!)0 -

is it per person or per benefit? I mean if you get 2 qualifying benefits, do you get 2 bonuses?If my typing is pants or I seem partcuarly blunt, please excuse me, it physically hurts to type. :wall: If I seem a bit random and don't make a lot of sense, it may have something to do with the voice recognition software that I'm using!0 -

This must be why we only get the one. My son has been awarded the DLA for him but as he is a minor it is paid to me, as is the CA.0

That's irrelevent, I get a Christmas bonus for myself and one each for my two sons who get DLA (as they're minors I deal with their claims). I also receive a letter each year pointing out the bonus for my sons and detailing it is THEIR bonus and has no effect on mine.
If you don't both receive a bonus I would contact the office dealing with your claim and query why you don't both get it.0 -
No, you will also get the £10 xmas bonus as well as your son.This must be why we only get the one. My son has been awarded the DLA for him but as he is a minor it is paid to me, as is the CA.
My DS has had his in this months DLA and I have received a letter off carers allowance to say I will also get the £10 xmas bonus in next weeks carers allowance.

Thank you I will look out for it. It's probably just that I've made a mistake. Lack of sleep at that time of year can do that to you!!! Thanks again.0
