the forecast is rain for Scotland , but our outside thermometer is at -4 and its snowing. I think I will shove "cold weather payments" back in the messy drawer in my head and forget all about them

Same here, our "local" weather station is Albermarle which is 33km away!

Like you I think I'll just forget about the cold weather payment, I'm not expecting to get it.

BREAKING NEWS,

If found out that www.channel4.com UNDER business and money and if tell you exactally what area's have paid out and you can also put in your postcode and it finds it for you, if your still unhappy i suggest everyone should email James Purnell who is the Works and Pension Secretary whos address is www.jamespurnell.org.uk and let him know how you feel

Hi folks

Don't know if anyone can confirm this but I checked the postal code and its there for the cold weather payments, we have a son with disability where he is on DLA (high rate), and hubby is now on Income based JSA due to losing his job early in DEC and I am my son's carer, he is 13.

My hubby received the JSA payment today and this is paid in arrears, so next time he signs is the 15th Jan, would the payment actually come out the same time as the JSA or separately?
Thanks folks, much appreciated.;)
