Cold weather payments: quickly check if you're entitled

Mea

BT POSTCODES - If you have a BT postcode it says on the postcode checker you are not entitled to payments - This is rubbish - I checked the postcode of person who has already received two payments - on the checker it said they were not entitled to any??? Given the note on system glitch I tried the list and noticed that all BT postcodes were left out??? I called my local social security office and although I am entitled to cold weather payments I was told that payments made to anyone on disability are not being paid out yet - they are being delayed with no date for payment or reason - any body out there know any more about this??

I get the highest rate of Mobility allowance as part of my Disability Living Allowance and am under 60. According to my postcode- DD3 6TR- I should have received 3 payments and as yet have received nothing. It should have been paid automatically. Any idea how I claim it?

Think I am going to have to get back on phone - fit criteria - no payment as of yet - just told delayed for those on disability with no date for payment???, however I do know those with young kids have received payments - as I'm in BT area and checker not giving correct information for my area I have no idea how many I should be paid...
