    Nor me,
    Mine will be put to good use, 1 lemon drizzle cake, 10 mini choc rolls, 1 iced fruit cake & 5 jam doughnuts.  The bit of change left over I'll properly waste.
    I spent most of mine in Greggs this morning! A sandwich, a packet of crisps, a festive bake and two slices of Christmas cake, cost over £8 so I've got almost £2 to spare!

    Got mine today. As my wife said, for two people ten quid would *easily* put a Christmas dinner together. So we will make a point that that tenner makes us a good dinner! 👍
  • Mine was paid last year on the 14 December as a separate payments DWP NINUMBER PIP, not had this years yet but I believe it's between 12-20 December.
  • I got mine today, could end up converting £10 to 10lbs.

    cba to chase over £10
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.

    What it states depends on what benefit(s) a person is on.

    My daughter had hers on the 12th and it said DWP PIP next to it. Those that claim Carers Allowance should receive it in with that, as that's how i usually receive mine so it's easier to miss.
