    cwp just gone in bank wn8 post code crosby weather station
  • I'm also under the Crosby weather station (WA9) - our payment was triggered a week ago, but no second payment triggered yet, despite it being so much colder in the past seven days. I'll have to find the site that shows the temperatures for the weather stations to have a look. If I do find it, I'll post the link in case anybody is interested.
  • First CWP payment paid in today, Manchester area. A second payment due next week.

    Just got 1st payment today, and another due next week for Nottingham area, the website I checked is the following
    /pensions.direct.gov.uk/en/cold-weather-payment/home.asp
    (sorry cant post links)
    Just pop in your postcode and it will tell you how many payments are due, if you are entitled,see previous posts from others re qualifying benefits.

    I've been told the second payment goes out one week later. Not sure if that is correct or not.

    Another payment triggered today for wn8 area crosby weather station
  • I've posted similar elsewhere, but this board seems more apt.

    My son age 8 in receipt of DLA(obviously comes to me), I get Carers Allowance plus a small amount of Income support, I think maybe because the Carers isn't as much as Income Support alone so I still get some(lone parent I assume)
    I also have Child Tax Credits with a disability element

    2 triggers for CWP, no payment recieved as yet(I know it can take time but my friend on the same street(child under 5) has had hers already, I checked my bank incase, no money, so thought I would give them a call to give them a nudge incase they had overlooked me as this is the 1st year I have been entitled to it(How long has CWP been paid out for anyway?)

    Anyway the woman at DWP tells me I am not entitled as my son is 8, I explained he was getting DLA I still got IS, C.Tax with D.E etc etc, she was adamant I am not entitled, but I think she is wrong, is she?

    I popped into the job center the other day and the man there said I was entitled but no payments have been sent out yet...........Confused much!

    She said I needed to speak with someone at Income Support, but after failing over 9 times to get through I gave up!
