    One of the posters above lives in Cheshire and got the payment, maybe you could drop her a PM to see if she is nearby? There does not seem to be a list of areas that have qualified this year, or if there is, none of us can find it!
    Gone ... or have I?

    Well do we get it we dont normally ?
    If you have a child under 5 and get Income Support then you will get the cold weather payment, as you have a child who is 11 then you won't get it.

    Do you get this if you are on income support and have a child off 11 yrs old ?


    if you get a disability premium with the income support yes otherwise no
  • But you wouldn't anyway Happytails, haven't you just said you are living with your parents??? So it would be your parent i(f they were in receipt of benefits) who would get the extra money........you don't get the cake and eat it all......


    my friend lives with her mum, they both got cold weather payments.
