Cold Weather Payments

Cherry4

I still havnt recieved my weather payments-i think im due 4 of them according to my postcode.
Is it right to be this late getting them?
I cant afford to put any more money on my gas meter-i literally havnt got any.
If anyone knows when the payments will be made id be really grateful.:(

You would be better posting this on the Benefits board.

I think everyone entitled to the cold weather payments have already had them paid, they're normally paid within 2 weeks of being triggered? You don't get them in one big payment they're paid individually as they're triggered.

Are you sure you're entitled to them?

You should have had them by now - my mum had her last a few weeks ago. Have you received any letters to tell you that you'd be getting the payment? Did you receive them last year? Phone up to find out what's going on - there's a thread here which will help too

thanks for your help-perhaps i did put this on the wrong bit of the forum, its just im new here:(
my benefit is JSA, some say you get cwp other people do not, its my first year on my own so im not too sure.

Just because you are on JSA does not mean your entitled to CWP, have you a child under five? does your child receive DLA?

OP, on the basis of info given (on JSA) you do not qualify on that basis alone.
