woo hoo!!! finally got my backdated xmas bonus,no apology or explanation as to why i have never had it.
still trying to find out who paid out the £60 bonus last year,as again never got it.
if anyone knows who it was that paid it out can you let me know,tia

ifdla paid your back dated xmas bonus then they are the ones to pay th £60 one off also you should have been getting £10 for every year you have been on dla

tbh been going round in circles trying to get this sorted,but dla have taken responsibility for my xmas bonus upto 2009 lol,so they have backdated from year i started getting dla upto 2009,have ignored my request as to the £60 one off last year,and now have no idea who i am meant to contact now

i'm only on dla (no other benefits) and i never received a £60 bonus, so i assume it came via another benefit

nannyto1 ,if you read my post i am on other benefits.
to my knowledge you have to be on other benefits too,how long have you been on dla? did you get xmas bonus?

if you got are entiteled to the £10 bonus in dec 2008 then you were entitled to the one off £60 bonus paid in 2009 wether getting just dla or some other benefit

hi,will write to them again in regards to £60 one off payment,dont know why i have to fight to get what i am entitled to,it is a disgrace as they have aknowledge that i was due x bonus and ignored my query on the £60 one off

ive been on dla since 1993 and ive always got the £10 xmas bonus. though looking at the link it seems that dla is an automatic qualifying benefit for the extra £60 too...............they kept that quiet lol

hi,i have been on dla since '05,though was on previously for four years,but cannot remember which years it was.
i am only being backdated to '05,what a surprise,even though they will know which years i was on previous.
re £60 to my knowledge "which is nowt on benefits" it was a one off payment last jan/march,and dla was a qualifying benefit,just wish that if its automatic,that they would pay it argh!!

Edit just re-checked my statements and i did receive it 12th Jan 09

ever felt like you are not entitled to what you ARE entitled to,argh!!!!!!!!!!!!!
daughter phoned jobcentre plus as they pay my is,nothing to do with them,phone dla
phoned dla,never heard of it so your obviously not entitled to it
think will go bang my head,tried explaining it was a one off payment,paid last year,and dla which i have been on for last five years IS a qualifying benefit
now waiting on another letterbut not holding my breath tbh think i may as well accept i dont get the benefits nor help i am entitled to:(:(:(:(.
