cold weather payment postcode search [merged]

SingleSue

Just rang that number you gave Geoff...it's for Stockport or something!

But they did give info and said that those receiving the disability for a child through CTC are tending to be the last hard copy scan things coming through and have been on average over 2 weeks (or words to that effect) later after the trigger to come through (I think to them, not sure on that one).

Edit - I'm miles and miles and miles from Stockport, I'm in Suffolk so they gave me the number for the closest one to me...which was the number I called yesterday.

must admit that ones about as clear as mud to me, best thing is to ring and check but beware as sue says some of them are clueless, what i tend to do is ring once see what they say if im not happen i ring again and usually get a different story.

I tried to ring. Guess what each dept told me to speak to another!

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?

NO

hi i live in london and in receipt of income and still had no payments as of yet any ideas ???? xxx

Does your IS have a disability premium?

Adult working tax credit with disability element. Does this qualify? So confused. Not pension age, no children just working tax (cant get to work today) DLA but know that doesnt count re cold weather payments.

NO as you need a qualifying benefit eg IS or JSA.
