COLD WEATHER HEATING HELP - The Government says its Cold Weather Payment scheme will begin again on November 1.
Rules say you will get a payment if the average temperature in your area is recorded as (or forecast to be) zero degrees celsius or below over seven consecutive days.
You will get £25 for each seven-day period of very cold weather between November 1 and March 31.
You may get Cold Weather Payments if you are getting:
- Pension Credit
- Income Support
- income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
- income-related Employment and Support Allowance
- Universal Credit
- Support for Mortgage Interest
In the case of Universal Credit, you must NOT be employed or self-employed in order to qualify, and one of the following must also apply:
- you have a health condition or disability and have limited capability for work (with or without work-related activity)
