Hi rm,

The Xmas Bonus has not been scrapped, on the premise that you are still in receipt of one or more of the qualifying benefits, you should receive it.

Have a look at this topic from last week :

yep rm,

You should receive it !!

As previously stated, with ESA, it is simply added on to your normal ESA payment into your bank account.
