I don't - because they don't feel the need to shout it from the rooftops. However, in this thread, which is about the Christmas bonus, people feel the need to tell us that they give their free money away. I often wonder what the motivation is of anyone that feels the need to announces how caring and generous they are.
So, are you complaining because you did or did not get this bonus? It's amazing how a whopping £10 Xmas bonus can create so much animosity. It matters not if you keep it or donate it, you get vilified anyway.
... did I get paid twice? ... my ESA appears to be £10 higher than normal this week, and I also got a DLA Christmas bonus of £10 ... the DLA Christmas Bonus letter was very specific that I couldn't get more than one Christmas bonus, so I did phone ESA and asked them not to send me one, but the person I spoke to thought that the system was integrated and that I'd only get one ... guess I'll have to phone them again tomorrow and find out if I owe them a tenner ... *sighs*
