YOU SHOULD CHECK DIRECT GOV postcode checker as your postcode not comin up with anything on there i suppose we will all have to just freeze an maybe get 25 pound one day by surprise we should start a petition on downing st for cold weather payments to be done on actual cities an not weather stations :T:T:T

Maybe before starting your petition you should think about how such a scheme would be administered? :rolleyes:

Yes, I spoke to Income support.

I know my postcode has had 2 triggers. 23rd Dec and 5th Jan.
My next door neighbour has had their letter and payment.

IS said some payments will have to be done clerically.
I will have to assume mine will be like that, as the Income support is in my name, but the DLA, which is my qualifying route, is in the names of my children.

Really it should not be this complicated.

income support is the quallifying route dla is nothing to do with cwps

We are in receipt of DLA for our sons do we qualify then for CWP? Husband works tho so unsure whether that affects anything

no dla is not a quallifying benefit

You need income support AND a qualifying benefit.
