No, illness benefit isn't one of the qualifying payments.

I'm on jobseekers benefit I thought I was getting the bonus only when I went in to lift my money today I didn't get it.

How does that make any sense? I paid stamps the past years and became unemployed 6 months ago. What a joke of a system. And they wouldn't give me fuel allowence either!

Hi, I'm currently on a vtos course there was no Xmas bonus payment in my account today. I called vtos head office and spoke to girl there who advised that payments (Xmas bonus) will be paid next week as they didn't go through this week in time.

Thanks for the info, they could save themselves a lot of phone calls if they had better communication.
