Will I Get A Christmas Bonus on Supplementary Welfare Allowance?

    I've currently been on SWA for 4 months, and sent off my disability claim form a couple weeks ago to the Longford office, and not sure when you hear back. I had to leave a course at the end of May, put on me by Turas Nua, due to sever panic attacks, anxiety and depression. I was unemployed before that since November 2015. I'm not sure if I will hear back about the disability form, so if I'm still on SWA over Christmas, will I be entitled to a Christmas Bonus? I am not sure as I've never had to do any of that, but I've been suffering all year and it's taken it's toll last 6 months, and this is why I have to claim disability until my mental health is better. I will be seeing a counsellor but theirs a waiting list would you believe.

    So does anyone know if I'll be entitled to a Christmas bonus this year?

    In the past, the Christmas bonus has only gone to people who have been on SWA (Or JSA) long-term (over 15 months)
