The DWP's Cold Weather Payment scheme has kicked off, giving eligible households in England and Wales a cash boost when the mercury drops
The Department for Work and Pensions has announced that eligible households will receive £25 during the cold weather. This energy assistance initiative offers residents of England and Wales £25 for each seven consecutive day period where temperatures plummet to zero degrees Celsius or below.
The funds will be deposited into the same account recipients use for benefit payments. It opened on November 1 and the scheme is set to run until March's end next year. Those on Pension Credit will generally qualify unless they reside in care homes. However, eligibility criteria are more specific for Income Support and income-based Job Seekers Allowance ; you must have a disability or pensioner premium, a disabled child, receive Child Tax Credits with a disability component, or have a child under five in your home.
For Universal Credit claimants, eligibility requires having a health condition or disability with a "limited capability for work" or having a child under five living with them. Furthermore, support for mortgage interest eligibility includes individuals with a severe or enhanced disability premium, a pensioner premium, or a disabled child, as well as those receiving Child Tax Credits with a disability or severe disability element, or having a child under five living with them.
