What benefit is this? DW?

Hi all, i've just had a payment made into my bank by the benefits people, but have no idea what it is? Normally it says my NI number followed by the type of benefit that has been paid in, such as IS for Income Support & IB for Incapacity Benefit & DLA. This says my NI number & then DW? Any ideas please?

    Ah so that's what it is! Nope just DW lol that's what got me cause everything else has the benefit initials as such! This is my first one then, I can't see how many have been triggered for LE4 as my comp doesn't open the links, anyone know?

    Wow I just logged on to find out what this was too. ! So the £25 is a cold weather payment, I am shocked we must be getting this for our son on middle rate DLA but I didn't think he would qualify!
    Debt free and plan on staying that way!!!!
