We can argue till the cows come home if you like however as I have said already that thread that you are basing your assumption on is over a year old and the current eligibility criteria is what i have posted already.

benefits for a pensioner in the republic of ireland weekly pension €206.30

• telephone allowance €26 (including VAT)- monthly
• Free Television Licence
• The Electricity Allowance covers normal standing charges and up to 2,400 units of electricity each year

it goes to show how far behind pensioners in the uk are and getting the same allowances as the republic of ireland would avoid all the cold weather payments fiasco

You may also be eligible for a Cold Weather Payment for each qualifying week if you are getting Income Support or income-based Jobseeker's Allowance and have a child under five or get one of the following:

• a pensioner premium, higher pensioner premium or enhanced pensioner premium
• a disability premium or severe disability premium
• a disabled child premium
• Child Tax Credit that includes an individual element for a child or qualifying young person who is disabled or severely disabled

The important word here is AND. If you read the statement properly, you need to fulfil the first set of criteria, then the second criteria is a child under 5 or one from the list.
You need to be in receipt of both parts to receive CWP

well i have had a very long convo with job centre and that postcode search means nothing. it says my postcode has 2 triggers, but according to them they get told by weather station and weather station says my postcode has no triggers. but it been iced and frozen for weeks outside and the lowest temp was -5.5 on 6th so i dont know.
but she sed i have no triggers and am not getting any payments, she sounded nice and she says sorry but many people have phoned up because direct gov has told them thier postcode has triggers but unfortunately its not the same details as thier own.

therfore id phone instead of checking on then i thought i was getting £50 turned out i get £0. good luck every1 else with theres.:mad:

ive had one so far postcode triggered on 23/12/09 got that on 31/12/09, last postcode trigger date 4/12/10, just rang i/s who asked for my postcode after i told them it was triggered on the 4th, they said itll be in the bank on the 13th. they were correct when i spoke to them about the last one it was in on the date they said it would be in.
