  • I do have my DLA but I don't want any christmas bonus or cold winter payment (it need to go towards to OAP who need extra help) or any charity who need it.

    And I am sure when you get it you will pass it on to those needy OAP's :T

    What a lovely gesture :A

    No wonder the country is in the state that it is.

    DLA pays alot as it is. But everyone getting £10 bonus payments is a joke. That fund for bonus payments should go to helping people who have nothing.


    should rename yourself scrouge

    be grateful you have your health, the extra money helps me for heating which helps releave some of my pain.. do you begrudge me that, rest assured i will not be pubbin and clubbing with the tenner

    I dont grudge anyone anything. I just said the entire bonus fund should go to them people who have no heating, no electric and no food and just nothing in life. People on DLA get alot of money and I know it helps them aswell but a bonus for everyone....

    Plus it would cost you £10 just to get into some clubs on a saturday night.

    I dont think so, it seems to have been asked in a complacent manner.

    But you can bet your last penny she will be the first on here saying "where's my money" ;) She's so full of hot air I'm not surprised she doesn't need her CWP.
    I made a mistake once, believeing people on the internet were my virtual friends. It won't be a mistake that I make again!

    So that would be to the homeless shelter then.
