CA went in as usual today, but no sign of the £60. OK so first payment of the year so was being optimistic but saying it will be paid "between Jan and March" is a bit vague. So just wondering if the payouts have started. If so please can you state your benefit and surname so we can see if there's a pattern emerging?

Thanks

Hi
Got my £60 last Tuesday. I get DLA for my son. My surname begins with T but I live in Wales so maybe things are different with Welsh Assembly Government!

I haven't received my £60 for my DLA.

Was wondering if I will get cold weather payment as I have DLA and I am on ESA (the new incapacity benefit) following depression after being made redundant and boyfriend having treatment for cancer of the prostrate (all became too much for me) plus I have MS. I'm a bit confused as I don't know whether I will qualify for the cold weather payment. My surname begins with W so will get £60 end of March I believe.

Not received a letter as yet re cold weather payment and do not know if I am eligible.

Any help?

Thanks in advance.

Just received my Xmas bonus (a bit late for Xmas!) it used to be just £10 so £60 is a useful amount. Also received 2 weeks' cold weather payment after the recent cold snap.

basically, if you received your christmas bonus of £10, then as an added extra this year, you will also receive another £60, paid anytime between jan and end of march.........you're only entitled to the £60 if you are entitled to the £10..............hope this makes sense!

basically for those under pension age, no income support = no cold weather payments
