Cold Weather Payments

You may get a Cold Weather Payment if the average temperature in your area is recorded as, or forecast to be, zero degrees Celsius or below for 7 days in a row.

You’ll get £25 for each 7-day period of very cold weather.

You’ll usually get Cold Weather Payments if you get:

• Pension Credit
• Income Support
• income-based Job Seeker’s Allowance
• income-related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
• Universal Credit
• Support for Mortgage Interest (SMI)
