Is cold weather payment added on to pension credit payment

j2011

I get a small pension credit payment <£15 per week but my payment for Monday is £10 more than normal.

I am due £10 because of the cold.

Is this the cold weather payment added on or have DWP overpaid my pension credit?

payment just shows as a payment from DWP.

No a CWP is paid seperate it will be paid into your bank account as CWP £25.00
The £10 sounds like the christmas bonus.

yes it is the christmas bonus, all payments due on Monday

j2011

it is the christmas bonus

Is it normally lumped in with the pension credit payment?

There is only one payment, not a separate £10.

I confused the CWP I thought it was £10 not £25 for some reason.

I'm pretty certain it is (my Dad gets Pension Credit) and I remember last year he was all in a tizzy as he thought he had been paid too much.

Cold Weather payments defo come seperate though,

yes, only time it is paid seperate is when you are paid 4 weekly and that is issued a seperate payment

CWP will have the dwp cwp next to it when that has been paid

My OH just checked their bank account and they have a £10 payment from DWP for the Christmas bonus.

Do we get one each then?

I would hate to state the obvious and say well obviously!!

But yes, if you are both claiming the relevant benefits, you will get £10 each
