In that case the answer is, you are not entitled because the govt say that you are not. Anything beyond that is a policy discussion, and therefore not for this board.

Then we could get into the whole "Why the OAP winter fuel allowance but not those on DLA" - its not right but that's how it is

Please read post #16.

I have and followed the link but it doesn't specify how and when each day's temperature is calculated i.e. here it has been below zero from at least 5pm to 9am next day so that is more than half the day so does that count or not?

I think the rules state"at any point of the day or night".also the way I understand it e.g. if there are 5 days where it goes below zero and the expectation is that the following 2 days will also be below zero then a payment is triggered

Yeah there used to be a list where you could check, it was very handy but it hasn't been updated since 2003:rolleyes:

Well stockport (north west) got a payment a couple of weeks ago

I called Dwp this morning and a payment was triggered over the weekend for my area(Alsager) so how long does it take for payment to get into Bank accounts after a payment has been Triggered?

What worried me was that the woman i chatted to could not see a payment on my file!!!!
