Cold Weather Payment recipients can check if they’re due £25 payment
The payment may go out to people on certain benefits, including Universal Credit and Pension Credit, depending on their situation. People are automatically paid £25 when the temperature drops below – or is forecast to be below – zero for seven consecutive days.
The scheme runs from November to March, and payments have already been triggered in hundreds of postcodes.
People can check if they are due a payment using a postcode checker tool on the Government website.
The checker works by a person selecting the country where they live and then they can put in the first half of their postcode e.g. SE1.
The tool will then come back with the results, telling the person if they are due one or more payments, and where their local weather station is located, which is used to determine if a payment is due.

To be eligible to receive a Cold Weather Payment, a person must get one of these benefits:
- Pension Credit
- Income Support
- Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
- Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
- Universal Credit
- Support for Mortgage Interest.
- People on Income Support or income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance usually get the payment as well. However, this only applies if they have any of the following:
- A disability or pensioner premium
- A child who is disabled
- Child Tax Credit that includes a disability or severe disability element
- A child under five living with them.
