£60 payment for pensioners and carers

Pensioners will receive an additional £60 payment in January on top of the recent increase in the Winter Fuel Payment.
The payment will also be paid to all carers who are entitled to the Carer's Allowance. It will be paid automatically in the New Year to all those who qualify.

Great news. Just looked this up on the Government Website and the extra payment is to be made to all those who normally receive the Christmas Bonus not just pensioners and carers.

Anyone got a link please, I'm wondering if it applies to those who received the winter fuel allowance as well.
