i agree, when i spoke to them just before xmas they said the gov had notinformed them of the bonus, when that was paid it wasnt that cold, so they should pay it yes, whether or not they do is a whole different potato

Received payment of 50GBP today for CWP. Seems to take a long time to get into your account, but is finally here.

How are those on benefit but not with a qualifying child under 5, disabled child, etc supposed to meet the extra costs of heating our homes? My area has 4 triggers and I am on Income Support as a lone parent with 3 children aged 9 - 14 years. My house needs to be heated as well, 2 of my children aren't back to school until Monday 11th.

Will I be entitled to any additional payments?
