I must only get one then! Wishful thinking eh?!! lol

Merlot · 25/11/2005 20:40

not heard yet [sulky face]

pixel · 25/11/2005 21:21

I thought you could have both. My letter says :-

"The Christmas bonus from Disability living Allowance is for [Ds's name]. If you are also getting Carer's Allowance for yourself, then any Christmas Bonus from Carer's Allowance is for you"

misdee · 25/11/2005 21:24

thats right pixel, remember DLA is for the child/husband in my case. i get 10pounds all of my own in my carers allowence.

butty · 26/11/2005 03:38

yes, what a bonus!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can now get him the jigsaw he always wanted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry to sound harsh, but where the hell is my money coming fro for Xmas, cant calim what i dont earn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

anniebear · 26/11/2005 07:21

Maybe I do then!!!

ThomCat · 26/11/2005 09:01

Yes nice to get the extra tenner, which we received confirmation of last week, but garee with RnB, I disn't need a 2 pg letter to tell me about it tbh.

jbadgirl · 26/11/2005 09:53

The 2 page letter is such a waste, they wrote to me to say that they owed me money for november (slightly more than i normally get) another bonus!! Not sure what i will but for ds with the £10 but i may transfer it into his bank a/c. At least it could go towards something bigger.

We are moving soon and i think he would like a cot/bed! Or i may put it towards his sensory room!

The Davros Rule (or Royal Mail?) has let me down. Still no letter.

macwoozy · 26/11/2005 13:11

But coppertop, the length of time it took for you to finally get DLA, you'll most probably get the Xmas bonus at Easter

coppertop · 26/11/2005 13:15

ROFL! They're not exactly known for their speed and efficiency here are they?
