Unsurprisingly our area has qualified for a cold weather payment of £25. The payment is automatic for anyone who qualifies.

Good news for anyone struggling with money and hasn't been putting the heating on. Anyone with friends or family in this situation please let them know they will be getting it so they can get the house warm.

Cheers G, I'll light another candle !!

Does the payment come through the post or is it utomatically paid into an account?

Bank account if linked to any benefits.

Thank You

We had a discussion on this before Christmas and this should not be confused with the Winter Fuel Allowance paid to everyone over a certain age.

Quickenthetempo is correct in saying that payment is automatic and will be paid in the same way as you receive benefits.

Below is from the gov website

You may get Cold Weather Payments if you’re getting:

Pension Credit
Income Support
income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
income-related Employment and Support Allowance
Universal Credit
Support for Mortgage Interest

I saw mkmel was living in the Phillipines too Leisure on the Pillipino singer thread

Due to the Pandemic I am stuck in the Philippines on lockdown and have been since March 2020 with no flights allowed out to get me home.

While I am here I have someone going into my home in England to keep the heating on enough to make sure that the house is warmed up so that I have no problems there during the cold weather

So is that ok with you guys?

Chill (which you presumably can't do in the Philippines!).

Pulling your leg m8 ...

I can install you a Hive so you can control your heating from your phone or laptop for 18000 Phillipino Peso that will give your heating switcher a rest.
