Come on I want cold weather below zero for 3 months from December 10th till March 4th as I want £425 cold weather payment please!

12 weeks x £25 = £300

I think the government should change from £25 to £50 instead. And below 5C will be better than below Zero. As 5C are cold enough for a cold weather payment.

That's really quite a vulgar post. The benefit is there to support those in need during times when you may need extra heat. You're just treating this as a money making oppurtunity, sparing no thought for those people that may freeze to death this winter.
