I just got 60.00 in my account from DWP with XB on the end of my nat insurance no which is the name my incapacity benefit is listed as in my account, does anyone know what it is. I cant find anyone to ring and ask as their web site is a nightmare. What if its an error and they want it back??? Help!!

Relax. It's the additional Christmas bonus, a one-off for pensioners and people on selected benefits such as IB.Millions got it today.:).

Anyone who gets the £10 Christmas bonus will get the £60 bonus sometime between January and March. Not everyone has received their money yet, some have some haven't, it seems to be a bit of a lucky dip! Both myself and my husband qualify for it but neither of us has received it yet.

Great news, I had heard a vague rumour about people on DLA were to receive this but had not had any comfirmation, this is a most welcome surprise. :cheesy:
