    I'd much rather see the DLA and Carers rates (in particular) being increased than bonus payments being made.

    I read that as meaning that you wanted the bonus payments eliminated in favour of increased DLA and Carers rates.

    Yes - in the case of carers and DLA it would be better - but I didn't even know pensioners got a bonus and certainly wouldn't want to see them lose out in any way.

    I'm sure most pensioners would probably prefer to have their pension increased than have a one off bonus.

    Not too sure where all this extra money would come from. Maybe cut back a bit on MPs and their pay and benefits!!!!! Would be a good start anyway :beer:
