My wife and I, both on illness benefit received double payments this week and I don't think we are entitled to it, what do I do next if it is the case?
 
Think this is the annual "Christmas Bonus" from the SW, my mam got an extra weeks payment also (carers allowance)

Only long-term payments (such as Carer's but not Illness Benefit) get 'Christmas bonus'.
 
Not everyone got the double week this week, I assume some will get it next week.
 
The double week payment on Illness Benefit varies depending on how long it has been in payment and how often certificates are sent in.
 
is there any double payment due for jobseeker's benefit ??
 
There will be a double payment during the week before Christmas. Note that this isn't a bonus, just 2 weeks payment together to cover the week between Christmas and New Year.
