my benefit hasnt changed and as far as i know the rules havent either so does anyone know how i can chase this up?

My area has had four triggers for cwp. Have been recieving them on a friday for the past 3 weeks. I thought the last payment would be going into my account tomorrow, but its not showing up as due in when I checked my online banking. Anyone else in this position?

Many thanks for any advice

Because your benefits determine your entitlement! If you can't get any joy over the phone I would put in a complaint.

oh yeh i know im entitled to it.. my question was how do i chase up payments i didnt recieved last year?

the staff cant go that far back on their system and the call centre staff cant do anything in general except send emails:(

anyway ive written a letter(which im sure will get will get lost) asking somebody to look in to it, i have to wait up to 6 wks for a reply.

Hi,

I think Cold Weather Payments can help people who are in receipt of certain benefits with their additional heating costs during winter.
A payment will be made for each seven day period of very cold weather between 1 November and 31 March.

Which links are you using?
I think the official one (the one the Government use to generate payments) is http://pensions-service.direct.gov.uk/en/cold-weather-payment/home.asp. What does this say?

Hi, the one you gave me a link to is now showing 6 the one that shows 7 is this link which again is one of the official ones,

http://campaigns.dwp.gov.uk/asd/asd1...e=socf_cwp_arc

I think it must have something to do with a recording for the weather being a forecast not an actual recorded temperature that's why its showing 7.

I just found this there so I guess thats whats happened
Management Information is not quality assured to the same extent as Official/National Statistics and there are some issues with the data, for example, figures given are estimates not actuals and may be revised later.
