The Department for Work and Pensions has activated Cold Weather Payments for 160 MORE postcodes. You’ll get £25 for each seven day period of very cold weather between 1 November and 31 March under the DWP scheme.
After each period of very cold weather in your area, you should get a payment within 14 working days. It’s paid into the same bank or building society account as your benefit payments, the DWP has gone on to explain on its website.
You’ll get £25 for each 7 day period of very cold weather between 1 November 2024 and 31 March 2025. Tell the Pension Service or Jobcentre Plus if you think you should have got a Cold Weather Payment but you have not.
