Christmas Bonus not had it yet?

I am on DLA and i have not had the £10 Christmas as of yet and my next DLA payment is Christmas week on the 22nd Dec so wanted to know would it be paid with my DLA on that day?

My wife who claims Carers Allowance got her Bonus last week(i take it i get a payment as well?)

I just though it was a bit late to pay it to me on Dec 22nd??

    Im in the same position. I cant face the thought of ringing the helpline..the music makes my blood run cold :eek: Seriously I cant face ringing them at the moment. I think its being paid with DLA as one of the peeps on disablilty and dosh is getting paid on usual day on 18th. If you are braver than me and phone the helpline please let me know as I an due DLA on same day.
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
  • You will get it included in your next payment, they pay the bonus with the December payment. My DD had hers with her DLA on the 8th, and I haven't heard of anyone yet who didn't get the bonus with their payment ( unless anyone knows different?)
    Last year payment was due a few days before xmas and it went in as normal with the bonus.

    Mine was also paid into the bank on the 8th, totally separate from my DLA payment. I did receive a letter on the 7th informing me of the pending payment.

  • I think some of the payments have been delayed by one week so if it was due last week then you should get it this week. I work there and vaguely remember reading a email regarding this earlier in the week.
  • Mine was paid on Dec. 10th

    I always got mine in with my IB not my DLA. I was paid on the 1st December and no extra £10 included. Someone on MSE told me I should get it on Tuesday which is my next payment of IB as DLA is not due until the 29th December again.
