    SIXTY POUNDS? :eek:

    The letter from Department for Work and Pensions said they paid £10 bonus to me because of my Disability Living Allowance. Does the bonus change depending on the level of care/mobility?

    EDIT: Sorry, I just checked it up and it is only disabled children and their carers getting £60 bonus. I think...

    no it is £10 everyyear for anyone who quallifys but this year as a one off the dwp are paying extra £60.
  • Hi,
    I still haven't received £60. I received the £10 xmas bonus in December and a recent £25 Cold Weather Payment but no £60 yet. I'm on DLA and IS and my surname begins with B in the Sussex area :confused:

    Haven't recieved ours either but clearly the time to complain is after March if it still hasn't appeared.
    Tomorrow is always fresh, with no mistakes in it!

    both of you get it
  • Hi I have not got mine yet but my DLA gets paid with my income support at the moment. From the end of feb they will pay it seperate every 4 weeks i was told the £60 would come though then. I think this is right as my friend/neighbourh got hers weeks ago but she gets her DLA seperate. So i will be one of the last to get it but £60 is a lot of money and i am just glad i am getting it.
    My partner sould also get it as he is on carers but as of yet no £60 for him( unless he has got it and spend it!) lol
  • Hi, I haven't received the £60 bonus yet. I get my DLA and IS paid seperately.Both went into the bank today but still no £60
