That’d get you a packet of cheap fags, so you’re getting the same Christmas present I used to get my old man when I was seven.
My kids didn’t even get a letter about it, it just appeared in the bank 😅
Wow £10, such a amazing windfall. Time to go on holiday I guess…absolute joke of a government.
The Christmas bonus payment has been £10 since it was first introduced in 1972. If it had kept pace with inflation then, according to the Bank of England’s inflation calculator, it would be over £110 today…
If you got another “Christmas Bonus” from another benefit (that you clearly need or you wouldn’t be getting it), does it mean you would need to pay this tenner back?
Absolute joke…the quicker this lot are out on their arse, the better.
Don’t spend it all at once.
An extra tenner would be nice like!
It’d make most people’s day to find a tenner on the street so complaining about free money seems… odd.
How much do you think your Christmas benefits bonus should be?
DWP: What’s funnier – Zero bonus or, like, a humiliating £10?
*Edit – It’s a Peep Show reference. People on benefits should also be able to expect to have a little bit spare to have a nice Christmas.
Well, I guess that makes what I owe the energy company the government refuses to rein in £10 lower…..
It’s a bit like a guy dying of thirst in the dessert being spat on. Um….thanks?….I guess….
Just so you know, in the Republic of Ireland, the Christmas bonus is generally double the weekly amount of whatever benefit you are claiming. Just for comparison.
It’s literally free money, why are you complaining?

Better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick
