It's not paid in with your ESA, it's a seperate payment and has CWP next to it.

Are you sure you're entitled to this? So many people think they're entitled when they're not. See here https://www.gov.uk/cold-weather-payment/eligibility

If you haven't received payment yet then it's most likely because you don't qualify for them. Not everyone on Income related benefits qualify. It all depends what benefits you receive. See here for the criteria.

I had a brown DWP letter in the post this morning confirming I was due a payment (had the £25 last wed).

If one was due for your area recently and you haven't received payment then ring DWP. Most people who were eligible have already had the money. I had mine more than 1 week ago.

Thanks, I just rang them and there's an automated message stating that anyone who is eligible for one should receive it by this Thursday so I'll keep waiting and checking my bank, thanks though
