Brits relying on a variety of benefits may be eligible for extra financial help when temperatures reach their coldest throughout this coming winter.
The Cold Weather Payment is a payment that can accumulate when the average temperature in your area is recorded, or forecasted, to be zero degrees celsius or below over seven consecutive days. In this scenario, you may receive £25 for each seven-day period of extremely cold weather.
People all across the country will begin receiving the money from the scheme from November 1, 2022 to March 31, 2023. It's important to note that the Cold Weather Payment is different to Winter Fuel Payments which exclusively helps to pay heating bills and has a different set of criteria for eligibility.
