PL3 has been triggered today for a second payment, I received the first one last week with my fortnightly money.

IB is not means tested. Only those on income based ESA qualify for CWPs, in the same way that those on IS qualify.

"income based"? i don't understand. is there more than one type of ESA?

does that mean if you get a higher/longer term rate of ESA then you'd not get CWP?

ah well, i shall continue to muddle thru with blankets and my duvet.

can't afford to put the heating on, it's bad enough it costs £1 each time i take a bath!

Yes. There's income based for those who haven't paid NI and conts based for those who have paid enough in the relevant tax years.

hi guys

i have been reading up on all the posts concerning the cold weather payment and i have also tried to phone ppl to see how we can find out what area's are cold enough to get the payment but with no success. they just gave me number after number that i felt like i was going round in a complete circle which actually did happen as i gave up when i was given the same number i phoned at the start :mad:.

so if ppl dont mind i thought we could have a thread were ppl who recieve the payment could put the date of when they recieved it and the 1st part of there postcode. this way we may be able to see if we may be getting 1 or if some1 has and another hasnt.

unfortuantly i havent recieved any payment (YET- its been so cold im sure we should be entitled to it) so i wont be able start the thread! but if/when i do ill let u all know

You need to be getting Income support/Income related ESA/Income based JSA also.
You sure you don't get an Income support top up if you claim carers allowance? Do you also get the disability premium on your child tax credits?
