Some people in Merseyside will receive a £25 cold weather payment due to the freezing conditions.
The Government payments have been triggered for eligible households in areas where the average temperature has been recorded as, or is forecast to be, 0C or below over seven consecutive days.
The bank top-up of £25 will be in eligible people's bank account within 14 days of the trigger, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) said. People claiming pension credit, income support, income-based jobseeker's allowance, income-related employment and support allowance, universal credit and support for mortgage interest could be eligible for the cold weather payments, DWP guidance says.
