Argh, this doesn't make sense to me.

I get disability living allowance, lower mobility, high level care.
Plus incapacity benefit due to illness obviously.
Meaning i get nothing for cold weather payments, right?

Although if i was instead on ESA or indeed income support, which i could be, and i would be put on ESA if i re-applied now, with some sort of disability premium i imagine, as incapacity benefit has been stopped, I WOULD get cold weather payments. How on earth is this right? Please, someone let me know if i have this wrong in any way.

It's the same thing with free NHS care, which you get on ESA but not incapacity benefit. The only reason i get incapacity and not ESA is because i applied years ago and the amount i get on incapacity is more than I'd get in income support due to an age addition (not that much more, but a bit), i used to get income support before the incapacity benefit amount i was eligible for went beyond the amount i received on IS due to the IB changing to the long term rate.

Is anyone else in the same/similar situation? I am rather frustrated to be honest as i could REALLY do with the extra money right now.

This has been explained several times now. CWP's are payable to those on qualifying income based benefits. You are on a contributions based benefit, and when you are transferred to ESA you will be on CB ESA. Therefore you still will not be eligible.

Do you live with someone, or have savings?

Handy when I venture outside the benefits section aswell, actually I wouldn't be surprised if it's not removed overnight/morning.

Thanks Di, that's the PDF that's been popular today. I guess there's no 'working' postcode checker in circulation. Cheeky sots! (mis-spelled for a reason!)
