    Cold Weather Payment


    If you're on a low income, a Cold Weather Payment may be available to help you for each week of very cold weather in your area.

    Who is eligible?

    You may be eligible for a Cold Weather Payment for each week of very cold weather in your area if you get Pension Credit or income-related Employment and Support Allowance with a support or work related activity component in the main phase.



    You may also be eligible for a Cold Weather Payment for each qualifying week if you are getting Income Support, income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance or income-related Employment and Support Allowance in the assessment phase and have one of the following:
    • a pensioner premium, higher pensioner premium or enhanced pensioner premium
    • a disability premium, enhanced disability premium or severe disability premium
    • a disabled child premium
    • Child Tax Credit that includes a disability or severe disability element
    • a child who is under five in the family





    How much do you get?

    This year you will get £25 when the average temperature where you live is recorded as, or forecast to be, zero degrees Celsius or below over seven consecutive days during the period from 1 November to 31 March. Specified Meteorological Office weather stations are used to obtain this information.

    Find out if your area is due to receive a Cold Weather Payment

    You can now use the postcode search to find out if your area is due to receive payment triggered by cold weather.


    Effect on other benefits

    Cold Weather Payments will not affect other benefits you may be getting.

    How to apply

    You don't need to apply; you'll get a Cold Weather Payment automatically as long as you qualify.
    Tell your pension centre or Jobcentre Plus if you think you should have received a Cold Weather Payment but you have not had one.
