Cold weather payments: quickly check if you're entitled

Katie1980_2

If you are on contributions based you are not entitled to it, however if you are on income based you will get it. However I am entitled to both and eligible for both but for CWP I am classed as contributions based...

Guess no heating for me this winter... I make sacrifces elsewhere for heating in this weather and extra layers of clothing are fantastic

I also qualify for CWP as I am on IS and have a child on HRC and HRM DLA (with disability and enhanced disability elements on CTC). Last year, I had to ring up to ask about my payments.

There have been four triggers so far and none paid again. Richard9991, thank you for explaining why the payments take so much longer.

I'm on IS and Carers Allowance/DLA for son and have just had my first payment of 4 paid into my bank.
