Rise the Christmas Bonus to £163.
The Christmas bonus amount has not changed since it's introduction in 1972. The introductory amount was £10 and it has not changed in 53 years. This has to change as a matter of urgency.
Why do the government call this a bonus, it is not a bonus more of an. Insult to disabled and elderly people. This needs to be changed, this is not fair.
