1st trigger of the year today for Leics.

It'll suit me if we get 3 more for Feb.
Bring on the cold.

Does anyone know how long it takes them to pay them out?

Usually 14 days from the trigger date to arriving in your bank account.

No trigger for the SS17 area area even though my own weather station has been reading 0 and below during the night and into some of the day for over a week now :-(

Your weather station for determining whether a Cold Weather Payment will be paid is Gravesend. I assume Gravesend hasn't been as cold as anywhere else?!

Gravesend weather station covers the postcode areas BR5-8, CM0, DA1-18, ME1-5, ME7-8, RM1-3, RM5-20, SS0-17. It looks like it must be one of the few areas not to trigger a payment.
