Hi laurieabc, can I ask which county in South Wales that is?

TAZ

the average temperature
where you live must be recorded as, or expected to be, 0ºC or

below for seven days in a row.


I know this is how they decide if your entitled to a CWP but I think it should be changed, cos you can be sure that here we will have 6 days of freezing weather one day warmer and then cold again, it should be done on a so many nights out of so many basis that would be a lot fairer.

dont look like i will be getting one,

Some Cold Weather Payments have still to be sent out.

DWP have a slight problem with those parents on Income Support/JSA(IB) who receive both Child Tax Credits & DLA for their children. Those cases have been identified & are being paid manually, as staffing permits. If you find yourself in this position & in an area where the Cold Weather Payments have been triggered, please contact your local Benefit Delivery Centre for an update.

Yep it looks like its being paid out staggered as another friend of mine had hers paid into her post office account today - the whole area suffered from cold weather triggering the payment so I would image you will get yours shortly, I received my letter saying about the award 4 days after the payment was made so might be worth you checking your account as it could already be there.

Have checked my account today but it's not there yet - here's hoping!
