Hi, i'm sorry to ask (as many have already probably have) I am currently getting long term incapacity benefit and i think i get the disability premium ( i called the i.b line to ask and she said the disability premium was to do with DLA which i didn't believe) i remember seeing it written on my housing benefit form. If I am to get cold weather payments the first is over due but 3 days (its been 17 days)
My question is am i entitled. no one has told me!

Income-related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)

If you are in receipt of Income-related ESA, you will usually receive Cold Weather Payments if you also have any of the following:

• the support or work-related component of ESA
• a severe or enhanced disability premium
• a pensioner premium
• a child who is disabled
• Child Tax Credit that includes a disability or severe disability element
• a child under five living with you

• Pension Credit (pensions and retirement planning section)

• Income Support

• Jobseeker's Allowance

• Employment and Support Allowance (disabled people section)

You say you have IB, I'm afraid I don't know whether this qualifies you if you also receive disability premium.

IB is a contribution based benefits. You can't get CWPs on contribution based benefits.
