As your partner works, then I don't think you are entitled to a CWP unless you get  a  disabled child amount in your claim

Do you get Support for Mortgage Interest? as that's another way to qualify

I am eligible for CWP and UC added a note to my journal just before one was paid, although I didn't get an email notification.

Universal Credit

You’ll usually get Cold Weather Payments if you get Universal Credit and:

• you are not employed or self-employed
• your partner is not employed or self-employed (if you have a partner)

One of the following must also apply:

• you or your partner have a health condition or disability and have limited capability for work (with or without work-related activity)
• you have a child under 5 living with yo

You’ll also be eligible if you have a disabled child amount in your claim. It does not matter whether you or your partner are employed, self-employed or not working.

The part in bold would mean you are not eligible.
