you dont get cwp in the appeal stage of esa only the main if you win your appeal then you will get any cwps back dated then

Does anyone know to check if there were any cold weather payments due in previous years? I was appealing a decision on my ESA claim from September 2011 until about June 2012, which has only just been resolved and found in my favour. Is it possible to check if I am due any back payments during the winter of 2011/2012 when the DWP just stopped paying my ESA altogether?


Also, I have logged onto the postcode checker and discovered that this winter 2 cold weather payments have been made. I have only received one payment, who do I need to take this up with?

Thank you in advance

You would need to contact your local benefits delievery centre, you may have a problem with the past payments, as I was on esa assesment in 2011/2012 period although got the ESA as income related my DHSS base would only backpay me 1 period of cold weather payments, despite there being 2 in the area, - I had no proof to back it up,

It can take 14 days for payments - it may be worth looking into (usually working days) . x

I won an appeal for IS two years back now, and I wrote to them to ask for any back payments due of the CWP, they paid out no problems, think I got £100 from them if I remember correctly.

Only had one CWP this year, and it's been so much colder than previous years! Recent heating bill is almost double what it was this time last year! :eek:

Due to cold weather, CWP post code check is not working as of today...
