If it says on the website that a payment has been triggered for your postcode, does it always follow that you get a payment ? Does anybody check ?:rolleyes: not that I dont trust TPTB , not at all !

tbh i dont trust any of them,i have been on hrm dla for last 5yrs received xmas bonus for first time this year,was not aware i was entitled to it,so phoned them and now getting the other 4yrs backdated plus the £60 that some people were paid early on in year,that i should also have received,so i would say your always best to check as not always automatically paid out it would appear to me!!!,merry christmas everyone have a good un!!

always had my bonus, the £60 was a one of xmas bonus payment from the gov to help vulnerable people with their heating bills.

yes it is indeed,but its not sent out automatically,as you saw from my post i never received mine,how many other people are unaware they were entitled to it.
i am only getting mine,because i asked why i received xmas bonus this year,and discovered i "should" have automatically been getting it for last five years

I don't understand this. In the area of south yorkshire where I live, we've had freezing weather for the last 10 days or longer, yet no 'payment trigger' has occured?

I don't claim the benefits either but some of my neighbours do, but as there has been no trigger there's nothing for them to claim anyway.

Yet the temperatures have been way below zero here.

It depends on the weather at your weather station, not your exact location. Also remember that the information may not have been updated yet to reflect the relevant period.

How long does it take to get payment? as mine was triggered on Dec 18th.

Normally around a week, but I would not rely on it being there tomorrow.

According to the site we haven't had a payment triggered, yet its been below freezing according to the weather station that they used.
