Dawnie, put your glasses on girl and check out my grey hair and wrinkles!!! LOL

Can I have a refund on my body as well? I'll have a slim and toned model too please!
I also need a new brain .... mine is so addled that I think a transplant is in order.

I agree about working and adult company as well ..... perhaps when I am feeling more 'normal' and settled.

George, of course you haven't caused us upset. I also get annoyed at people who try and 'cheat' the benefits system.

Hiya Dawnie and all,
So glad I did a search for "extra benefit" I knew someone would have the answer.
My Mum got it last week in her pension and I just thought it might be cold weather extra payment and thought no more.
Then today checked my bank and I had been given it!
I too have been on Incapacity Benefit for the last 19 years. I am now virtually housebound. 99.9% of the time these days.
It has come just in time to go towards the yearly prescription charge.
So I thank you Mr Brown I am extremely grateful.
Love to all who are ill and in pain.

A one-off payment for all eligible for state pension, for which I was very pleased to receive; and used some on the 1911 census ... :-)

I think the £60 is a part repayment because they abolished the 10% tax rate
