I think you have to be on some sort of Benefit to get that payment!

Google DSS/ Cold weather payment...that will explain it.

I’m on esa support group and I have not had any and I don’t know if I ever have lol, anyone know what are the needs for it are please.

Cold weather payment is only payable on income related benefits, so contribution based ESA does not qualify. The payment is made when the temperature falls below zero for 7 consecutive days.

I had email from energy company saying there was one off payment on first come first served basis for those on pip or other benefits plus one other e.g. Wtc or esa. I think it was £140 a year so worth googling x

That’s the warm home discount scheme, but again only for income related benefits

Hi

It depends where you are if the temprature is below zero for seven days running then if your in support group you qualif.

[Jewels94 in reply to Alexann]

It’s got nothing to do with support group or WRAG. It’s wether you’re on income related or contribution based.

No problem I know now how it works lol thanks amy

It depends on your circumstances & which benefits you're in receipt of Amy. Full reliable info here gov.uk/cold-weather-payment & here gov.uk/cold-weather-payment...

If you're eligible for it you should receive it automatically, it's not something you should need to apply for.
