I can be told something and then not remember it 5 minutes later so even though I watch the budget dont remember it.

I thought the extra £60 was a payment to pensioners not to others as well

Dawnie, I didn't know either! I went onto the website and it is on there.
Like you, I go around with my head 'totally out of it' !
Take care of yourself,

It is not part of increases due April, it is an extra bonus. The £25 is a cold weather payment and is only paid to people in certain areas and who are drawing certain benefits.

thankfully not been below - here for that long well dont think it was but then I didnt go out.

Woman at IB said it was part of extra Christmas bonus not increases due at April

I think you will find it is an early payment of the increases normally due in April.

Something lap puppy Darling announced in his pre-budget speech.

Checked bank account today and my Incapacity Benefit had an extra £60 paid in. Rang to ask if it was a mistake and apparently us that get the £10 christmas bonus Mr Brown has decided to give us another £60 christmas bonus.

Am I the only one who didnt know?????

Hubby says hes vote seeking and then will cut us off later in the year. Will go and buy some coal to keep warm
