Cold weather payment ACTUAL trigger dates?

harveybobbles

Is there a way of finding out what the actual "trigger dates" were for a CWP?

I know you can search your postcode to see if there has been one- but this only shows you if there have been any since november 2012 and todays date.

I think that's all there is, it's the same for my post code, I think they go from when when the winter season starts

cold weather payments are only in effect from november ubntil the end of march as its unlikely for the weather to fall below zero for 7 consecutive days outside of this time of year

I know this.

Absolutely

There is no way I have found of knowing other than checking the website every day and noting if the number has gone up.

I know there has been one CWP for my postcode so far, so if it goes up to 2 I'll know I'm due another one.

So really you have answered your own question then as you won't find any more dates other than from nov to the present date

The OP means they want to know for which weeks the CWP was triggered, on the website it just tells you how many have been triggered for this winter so far but not when.

OP I think if you ring your Benefit Delivery centre and manage to get the right person they can tell you when they were triggered.

every time they issue a CWP, then notify you by post too, telling you which date the payment covers

I would also like to know the actual trigger dates, I have had 1 payment but there have been 2 for my postcode, but don't know which I got.

I won at tribunal in December and was put in the support group but obviously because it takes so long for them to update their records (only when you win :mad:) that it was around the time of the triggers that happened, so not sure if they need to manually give me the payment as I might have missed the auto payment on the 1st one.

I will have to contact them, but loose the will to live waiting on the phone though

as far as u know, the only cold weather payments this year so far, were triggered in consecutive weeks.
so if you won the tribunal in december, both should apply.
