For the past 4 weeks i have been getting my Cold weather payments on a Wednesday and am due one this week but with Monday and Tuesday being Bank holidays will they still go into account on the Wednesday or will payments run late cause of the holiday?

Yes. You can get the CWP if you receive income support and receive a disability premium within your CTC.

I am in similar circumstances to you. People I knew were getting the CWP and we werent, when I eventually rang to ask them why they had no record of our disability claim. Maybe worth a quick call just to check

I am seriously not happy about the CWP. I am on IS and get Carers for a very disabled 29 year old son, yet I do not qualify for the Cold Weather Payment. I need he heating on 24 hours a day as my son also has Chronic Arthritis which as everyone knows gets really bad if you are cold. I am having sleepless nights, literally, worrying myself sick about my heating bills.
My ex husband, who scarpered the Country 3 years ago after clearing out our bank account, came back this year and is living at our local YMCA. He pays no rent, no utilities and is given 20 pounds per week on top of his JSA and DLA to buy food. He has also received 4 lots of CWP even though he doesn't have any gas/electric/water bills to pay.
What a pigging joke.

Finally! Finally!

4 cold weather payments due and 4 cold weather payments into my account today as 4 seperate payments.

Seems that the slightly incorrect date of birth for youngest (a 3 instead of a 5), really did make that horrendous impact and explains why I never received the payments before.

It's a huge relief after the disappointment last year when none were paid out and I was palmed off every time I rang....thankyou to the advisor who actually checked all the details and found the problem.

i had my 5th Trigger on the 22nd Dec and have been getting them on a Wed but none gone in today so must be taken longer due to the Holidays.

Same here, well except it was my fourth trigger, positively tropical here that 1 week, it must've broken the 0 mark. :rotfl:

I had no problems last year; as in I didn't have to chase any payments up, unlike Sue above us, so I'm guessing it's just down to the holiday timing.

I'm just surprised we still get them.
