Full list of postcodes getting Cold Weather Payments worth £25 after snow hit UK

Thousands of families in England and Wales will receive Cold Weather Payments in the coming days as temperatures continue to plunge.

Cold Weather Payments are worth £25 and are triggered when the temperature falls below zero degrees or below for seven consecutive days.

You might find you become eligible for a payment after the UK woke up to blankets of snow covering parts of the country and temperatures of -15C this week.

Cold Weather Payments go to people on low incomes who receive certain benefits.

Most people should receive the cash automatically - although there are some situations where you won't, which we explain below.

Cold Weather Payments explained

Cold Weather Payments started again on November 1 and will run until March 31, 2023.

The Government uses weather stations in England and Wales to determine when a Cold Weather Payment has been triggered.

You could get a Cold Weather Payment if the temperature drops and you're receiving:

• Pension Credit
• Income Support (if you 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 or a child under five living with you)
• Income-based Jobseeker's Allowance (if you 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 or a child under five living with you)
• Income-related Employment and Support Allowance (if you have any of the following: a severe or enhanced disability premium, a pensioner premium, a child who is disabled, Child Tax Credit that includes a disability or severe disability element or a child under five living with you)
• Universal Credit (if you are not employed or self-employed, and you have a health condition or disability and have limited capability for work, or you have a child under five living with you)
• Support for Mortgage Interest (if you have any of the following: a severe or enhanced disability premium, a pensioner premium, a child who is disabled, Child Tax Credit that includes a disability or severe disability element or a child under five living with you)

If you claim Income Support, Income-based Jobseeker's Allowance or Income-related Employment and Support Allowance, you will need to contact Jobcentre Plus to get a Cold Weather Payment if:

• You've had a baby
• A child under five has come to live with you
