Residents in 116 areas may qualify for a £25 Cold Weather Payment due to freezing temperatures
City: England
So, it’s getting pretty chilly out there, right? If you’re in one of the 116 areas affected by this cold snap, you might be eligible for some help from the government. The DWP is rolling out Cold Weather Payments, which means qualifying households can snag £25 when the temperature dips below zero for a week straight.
Recently, the DWP announced that 48 more areas are now included in this scheme. This is all about helping those who really need it to keep their homes warm during these freezing days. If you’re on certain benefits like Pension Credit or Universal Credit, you could be in line for this cash boost.
It’s worth checking if you’re eligible, especially since no postcodes in Greater Manchester made the list this time. But don’t worry, there are plenty of areas in Wales, Derbyshire, and other places that are getting the payments.
So, if you think you might qualify, take a look at the full list of postcodes. It’s a good way to make sure you’re not missing out on some much-needed support during this cold weather.
