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.

I'm in TS24 postcode and also no triggers here. I bet quite a lot had no triggers.

The Met Office have notified the Department for Work and Pensions that 1 period of very cold weather has occurred in the PE30 postcode area between 1 November 2011 and 8 February 2012, triggering a Cold Weather Payment.

If you have qualified for Cold Weather Payments since 1 November and live in this postcode area, you are due to receive 1 Cold Weather Payment.

1 payment triggered for us, I'm not sure when it was triggered because I only checked yesterday.

I'm very thankful and grateful for the payment as my OH has health problems and I have to be very careful that he doesn't get cold because I don't want him to end up in hospital. Because of the costs I only ever have the heating on when he's home (he goes to hospital for dialysis 3 times a week), I don't feel the cold as much and when he's not here I'm always pottering around doing housework anyway. The £25 will be such a big help, it'll go straight on the gas card.
