which benefit do you receive cold weather payment for?

I think the over 65's get it. Not sure about anyone else.

If your on ESA if its gets cold enough for 7 days in a row, you get £25

I used to get £10 if the temperature was cold enough on seven consecutive days....it is much higher if you are a pensioner and I'm not sure what happens if you are in receipt of high level DLA. You could also give the CAB a ring and they would be able to tell you exactly, according to your circumstances.

Hope that helps a bit

thanks everyone for advice, spooky cos when i had typed this question the postman came and my mam whos 72 got a brown envelope and in it was a letter telling her shes got cold weather payments and it was £ 240 something so im guessing you must get one per household xxx

Cold weather payment is £25 for certain benefits, your mum's will be the winter fuel allowance for pensioners. Mine was paid into my bank with my pension this morning, and very grateful I am too xx
