Christmas Bonus being paid next week

have to agree with whitesatin, is it not extra cost to send letters out?

And every letter seems to be 2 pages or more, most of the words are unnecessary

I've had a letter, my carer has not but I'm really grateful for the £10 bonus


I think it is admirable that people who are facing hard times themselves help other people at by donating the £10.

This shows unselfishness and humanity.

It's not a celebrity with millions of pounds declaring they give to charity.

It's ordinary folk who are probably struggling have a big heart at Christmas

@Sandra if you read this I would like to give you my £10 to go towards another day for you and your husband at his club

When the Government say that a couple only need £112 a week to live on, £10 would be a fortune to some.

No £10 would not be a fortune

I've never had a letter to say that my bonus is due to be paid it just appears in my bank account.

I don't qualify for the £10 bonus and if I did I certainly couldn't afford to give it to charity.

Joint claim JSA £112.55 per week, although my husband has just come out of hospital and made a claim for ESA, same amount.

This is the same amount the government expects you to live off if you're a couple (over 18) making a joint claim for Income Support.

I wonder if it would cover the lunch bill for some MPs!!!

Probably not!
