Households in Leeds are eligible to claim a £25 Cold Weather Payment after temperatures dropped significantly in the last week.
Cold Weather payments are made to households when the temperature is recorded at zero degrees or lower for seven straight days. The money is usually paid automatically.
People who have low incomes or those who already receive benefits are eligible for the payments, which are worth around £25. In some instances, the payments do not happen automatically, so it is always a good idea to keep your eyes open for them.
