cold weather payment postcode search [merged]

LINDANNE

I have been having problems with the PDF files I can download it but it wont open for me to see if my area has been issued cwp. I live in Durham City and we have had snow and freezing temps since the 16th or 17 th of dec could someone please check to see if DH1 has been issued yet.
My friend across the road rang last week and was told that payments were being issued but they were doing so in alphabetical order starting at A
that don't seen to be the case from what I have seen after reading all the comments on this site .

I've just checked my postcode and it says that no periods of very cold weather have occured 'between 1 November 2009 and 16 December 2009 ', which is a bit strange since i personally find it freezing, i've had to have tghe heating on all night, and use an electric heater. I wouldn't as much if it was for me, but trying to keep a 6 month old baby warm isn't an easy task, sleeping bags only do so much.

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.

Same where I livem either they've not updated the site, or they don't want to pay.

I know how u must feel with a baby my 3year old is waking up at 3am cold every morning but I cant afford to leave the heating on overnight as my husband has been out of work for a while and his jobseekers don't go very far and they took my benifits off me pending appeal we have prepay meter and £35 is noty lasting a week at the minute but cant afford more xx:o

You dont need your full postcode, you might want to delete it out for privacy.

This is what the page looks like and it's quite obvious only the first 3 digits are needed.
