I got a payment a couple of weeks ago and I live in the lake district. My area has triggered twice does anyone think that means I will get another soon? Thanks in advance

My area is also showing as being triggered twice and I've only recieved 1 payment. I'm assuming that the second trigger must have happened in the last couple of days so hasn't been paid out yet?

So from what I see if you are on Income Support with a disabled child then you will get the cold weather payment.

If you are working and have a disabled child then you do not get it.

So my question is why does woking come into it? So your child is more disabled if you don't work?
