    As long as you get income related ESA then yes, you will qualify.

    It says within 14 days - so depending which week triggered it, you should get it pretty soon.

    Not sure if it goes in with your next normal payment or separately though?

    Agreed RE:IB, seems unfair I can get it and Dad can't simply as he's on an older benefit - as we're in the same household it doesn't matter as much as mine will be going towards heating, but if he were living alone he'd be at a disadvantage.

    There's a Cold Weather Payment thread for this winter at

    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/2835188

    which is at the top of the forum page. It may help you if you post there rather than in this one...

    Quick question, last year i was sent cheques/giros for the CWP but i saw on the direct.giv site that it says you get paid automatically. Noe does this mean straight into my account or will i get a giro again? I tried to ring earlier but couldn't get through as per bloody usual.

    It should go straight into your account.
    Gone ... or have I?
