    I thought JC process cold winter payments?

    E2A:
    How to apply

    You don't need to apply; you'll get a Cold Weather Payment automatically as long as you qualify.
    Tell your pension centre or Jobcentre Plus if you think you should have received a Cold Weather Payment but you have not had one.

    JCP do not process any payments or benefits, we are a sign posting service. We just issue numbers or envelopes for correspondance.

    Cold weather payments are usually administered by the social fund department which is technically not a part of the jcp - they are all under the banner of dwp

    Maybe you need to inform your employers that the information that is on the direct.gov website is incorrect then :rolleyes:

    just checked the met office for gravesend (not sure why we are under gravesend live nowhere near it) but gravesend was below 0 from midnight til 9AM so does that count as wednesday being below 0 if so that must be 7 days in a row as we have had snow since last Wednesday. seems a little unfair that the post code next to me has already been given a payment but there you go. I assume records will be updated tomorrow!

    We wanted a credit meter but cant get one unless we stump up £300 deposit[/QUOTE]


    We were advised to delberately miss a bill and they would put a meter in for free - it worked. :j
