Anyone got their £60 yet?

jackiep123

My carers has gone in bank already (Get paid on a Monday but all my money shows up on a Sunday) and no sign of it being in there today?

We got the Incapacity payment £60 for my hubby in January.

When I rang I was told the Carers and DLA ones would be in March, but not sure when in March .................

I was also told that if one person was entitled to more than one qualifying benefit for the £60 payment (maybe entitled to DLA and IB) they would ONLY receive the one £60. Does anyone know if this is right?

The woman I spoke to also said that if 3 people in one house got DLA then only one £60 would be issued .............. is that right too?

Me again! CA went in as usual but no bonus so rang the "oh-so helpful" people at DWP. Told that the CA bonuses are starting to be paid this week so I'd get it sometime "in the next few weeks." Asked when the latest date would be and was told that they weren't dealing with it. Asked who was dealing with it and told it was the CA dept (who I was talking to) but a different area. So as usual lots of joined up thinking from the good old DWP and no straight answer received. So just keep checking your accounts.

I got my Carer's £60 back in January but still haven't had the £60 for my daughter's DLA. It was paid into the bank today and to be honest I was kinda expecting it with it being March now.

Shall phone them up today and enquire.

I have just seen this and am curious now. I receive DLA for my daughter so does that mean she isn't entitled to the £60, despite getting the £10 bonus?

Is there anyone here who receives Carers Allowance for caring for a child receiving DLA who has actually received 2 £60 payments?

The £60 bonus is paid by person not by household.

If one person receives more than one qualifying benefit they will only get one £60 payment.

If more than one person in the same house receives a qualifying benefit they will each receive the £60 payment.

I'm not sure what will happen in your case if you are the one who gets the DLA even if it is for your daughter, I would think that if you get the £10 Christmas payment on both benefits you should get two lots of £60. It may be worth giving them a ring to find out, although 2 different people may tell you 2 different things!

Mum got hers yesterday with her pension,Kent area surname begins with E.

Not had mine yet,i think because DLA are paying it they might pay it in with my next monthly payment on the 24th but then again i think i read it is being paid on its own-very confusing!

I hadn't had mine so I rung them up and they said mine will go in some time this month in the last batch.:j
