    Richard9991 Im on income support for depression, its 93 pound a week. I thought I was suppose to be on incapcity but was told its income support. Thx
    then yes you are entitled as that 93 pound will iinclude a disability premium
  • Oh ok thanks. When I asked last year on the phone they said I dont get it and I was on the same then. I havenT recieved any thing.
  • sk14 4th payment triggered on friday,and looking at the forcast another should be triggered on the 24th !
  • I'm going to call IS in the morning, and try and get them to pay up for the 3 payments i'm due.

    My friend who's on the exact same benefits as me, rang them last Friday, and they arranged to have 3 Giro's sent out to her straight away.

    I'm confused to if I am entitled to a CWP.
    There has been 4 triggers in my area but no payments received.

    I have a new baby under the age of 5 obviously and we get CTC with the disability element for our child (high rate mob). Am I entitled? and who do I contact? as we don't have any letters regarding any of the other benefits as we don't claim them. Thank you.

    No just wtc,ctc and dla for my child. So I'm not entitled then?
  • Great. Another trigger for my EX postcode. I have to say though, I have been keeping an eye on the temperature (at the local weather station) and it seems to me that either they are REALLY behind with the triggers or they're being a bit naughty as we have had more than 2 consecutive weeks of below zero temperatures, yet its only showing as 2 triggers.
    Anybody else found they've had the 7 consecutive days but no trigger?
