The first Cold Weather Payments<\/strong> of the year from the Department for Work and Pensions, whose postcodes are eligible to receive them. For some households, the DWP will provide \u00a325<\/strong> when the temperature drops between now and March.<\/p>\n
On November 1, 2024, the Cold Weather Payment program will restart. If individuals receive specific benefits, such as support for Mortgage Interest, they can receive a Cold Weather Payment<\/strong>. If the average temperature in their location is zero degrees Celsius or lower for seven days in a row, or is predicted to be so, they will get paid.<\/p>\n
Household will get \u00a325 for each seven-day period of very cold weather between 1 November and 31 March<\/strong>. The Cold Weather Payment scheme runs from 1 November 2024 to 31 March 2025. The rules mean they could be eligible to get \u00a350 or even \u00a375.<\/p>\n
Additionally, from November 1 to March 31, they will receive \u00a325 for every seven days of extremely cold weather. They should get paid within 14 working days following each spell of extremely cold weather in their location. Their benefit payments are deposited into the same bank or building society account.<\/p>\n
The Cold Weather Payments have no impact on their other benefits package. People’s bank statements will show “DWP<\/a> CWP” as the payment, and it will be deposited into the same bank or building society account that they use to receive their benefits. Today marks the start of the program, which will end at the end of March of next year.<\/p>\n
Households must apply for one of the various DWP benefits, such as Universal Credit<\/a>, Income Support, Job Seekers Allowance, or Pension Credit, in order to be eligible for the money. There is no need for you to apply. You will receive a Cold Weather Payment automatically if you qualify for one.<\/p>\n
