Cold Weather Payments Checker

Hello,

I have just checked my postcode & I am going to get a £25 cold weather payment. Put your postcode in & see if you will be too:

    Apparently CWPs have been triggered in 441 postcode areas. None of which are mine! The weather station that's used for my postcode changed this year. Postcodes which are still covered by the old weather station were part of those 441 postcode areas which will receive a payment.

    I've been triggered now too, not surprising I've been checking daily expecting one.

    Some people are just receiving UC messages and no notification of journal messages to read. So if you haven't logged into your account, check the journal and your bank.

    Really should be the "feels like" temperature not the actual temperature.

    Mine is being credited tomorrow, with the reference "DWP UC" not "DWP CWP".

    No payment has been triggered (so far) for my post code even though the weather has been as cold as postcodes in the region that did get a payment. I posted above that the weather station linked to my postcode has changed this winter season. Had it not changed a payment would have been triggered.
