Maybe they are waiting for day 7 to finish before they update it.

Seems to me the latter date shown, is basically the last time somebody logged in and updated the records for your area. If a payment is paid out, that might get updated straight away on the system, but I wouldn't be surprised if money is paid into bank accounts before that page is updated

They have no need to update the page for seven days as you don't get a CWP unless the weather is below 0 for seven consecutive days...so if we were to add on seven days from the 16th where would we be

you can call the cold weather payment line on 0845 601 5613 if you have an enquiry about a cold weather payment and if it has been triggered for your area, lines are open mon-fri 8.30am- 4.30pm.:T

That's not right - it's not done in weekly blocks.. it's any 7 successive days.

The payment can be triggered any day, so ideally the page should be updated daily.

This year you will get £25 when the average temperature where you live is recorded as, or forecast to be, zero degrees Celsius or below over seven consecutive days during the period from 1 November to 31 March. Specified Meteorological Office weather stations are used to obtain this information.

You see you can have 6 days of -6 and on the 7th day you get 1 degree boom you lost your cold weather payment for that week.
consecutive = following in regular order without a break

No payment has been triggered in my part of Scotland and it has been really cold.

If I remember rightly it took 2-3weeks last year for the payments to come through.
