Personally I reckon all you dollies, and DLA'rs should give every tax payer £10 for Christmas. You really are a load of cheeky bints.

oh shut your mouth. so you are calling all severely disabled people like my daughter who is 20 but like a big baby 'cheeky bints?' They dont ask the government for an extra tenner ! :mad:

I got my letter today. It says my Christmas bonus is going in on Tuesday - a week after my usual DLA went in. I don't understand why they did it in a different transaction.

glad i am not the only one who gets the letter then.

Yes I can give that away (I dont I do use it on christmas but I do give EVERY possible moment over to charity and the community so I know I am giving back more than I take anyway.

still think the £10 bonus + associated letters costs far too much and is an insult to those working.

I've just had my letters. I get one because I care for my little one and get Carers Allowance and the child gets one??????

Either way, I'm not complaining or giving it away - things cost too much as it is and will go towards the pressies.
Not very happy though as I will not get the Cold Weather payment - shame considering the price of fuel.

Reminds me I will have to get a few more loads of logs in to see me through the winter. Cant beat a nice log fire in the lounge especially on Christmas morning with the kiddywinks and the 'glass of port'!!!

I don't think the government really wanted the hassle of getting rid of it tbh....There was probably a good reason for it all those years ago.

But it's easier for them to let inflation overtake it. The cost of administration & legalities is probably far more costly if they got rid completely.
