    Can anyone tell me if the £10 bonus would have been paid as a seperate amount or if it would have been added onto a benefit payment? Last year I got a letter telling me I would be getting it, this year nonthing. I am on DLA and IB. Also this is the first I have heard about the £60 bonus, what a nice surprise!

    It would have been paid in separately and the reference underneath (as the £60 is) would be the National Insurance number of the person it refers to and XB (for Xmas Bonus)

    The £60 also has the same reference
