The Met Office have notified the Department for Work and Pensions that 1 period of very cold weather has occurred in the DE2 postcode area between 1 November 2010 and 1 December 2010, triggering a Cold Weather Payment.
If you have qualified for Cold Weather Payments since 1 November 2010 and live in this postcode area, you are due to receive 1 Cold Weather Payment.
Please bear in mind that you should not expect payment immediately. It normally takes up to 12 days to process a payment.

That was on Monday, will check tommorow weather permitting if it has arrived

Its obviously taking them a while to process all these payments. A few days ago it said that it would take 12 days now they have updated it to 14 working days.

Hi i currently claim income-based jobseekers allowance,
and so am entitled to cold weather payments.

I just checked my postcode and there has been 1 period of qualifying weather between 1st Nov and 1st December,
but so how do i know when exactly i get my payment??

As i want to make sure that i do get it!



Thanks
