ScienceGeek Report post Posted March 4, 2009 I'm really confused now. I looked in my account and there was a DLA payment in there for �60. I wasn't expecting my DLA to go through for another week and I normally get �142 so I'm not sure what this �60 is about What should I do? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tally Report post Posted March 4, 2009 I think we are getting some kind of bonus of �60, in addition to the normal payments. They should send a letter out, it would have been better to send it BEFORE they sent the money to stop people worrying. I also have received �60 from DLA today.

ScienceGeek Report post Posted March 4, 2009 Ah cool! That's ok then. The letter might have gone to the old flat as I hadn't got around to changing my address with them. Thanks Tally, I'll stop worrying now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ScienceGeek Report post Posted March 4, 2009 I found the reason for the �60! For 2008, an additional tax-free payment of �60 will be paid automatically to those customers getting a qualifying benefit in the week commencing 22 December 2008. This will be paid between January 2009 and March 2009. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NickyB Report post Posted March 4, 2009 I was wondering what that was all about - it always makes me worry when I get unexpected money from the government Thanks guys Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
westie Report post Posted March 4, 2009 hm its a bit like getting an extra payment from tax credits, you cant always be sure why so you dare not spend it in case they have made an error and have to pay it back glad you found out why and hope you find a good use for it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
