I got 4 trigger in Telford, so glad to have £100 cold weather payments and hope it continue to do so. Cos i am poor, got no heating on cos of of breakdown in boiler combi went frozen. The council told me to use electric heating for now until after xmas. It was -20C in Telford few days ago.

hi im not sure how the cold weather payments are issued. i 1st signed on in the first week of december. and looking at the trigger chart the nearest place to me filton in bristol has 3 triggers.... not even sure what that is.

also how are cold weather payments made... do they get paid into my bank like my benefit on the day my benefit is due?

or do they get paid seperate?


thanks for any help
