Do you mean the Cold Weather payment rather than the Winter Fuel payment?

If so, she may be. I'm sure there are some posters here who know which benefits will trigger the payments.

I'm sure someone will be along soon with the info. Fingers crossed for you!

may get cold weather payment if the temp is 0 or below for 7 consecutive days/nights

Is your wife claiming ESA and DLA?

If her prognosis is very poor she could perhaps claim DLA under the special rules.
