Cold Weather Payments

Find out if you are eligible for the Government's Cold Weather Payment scheme

Did you know that you might be eligible for the Government's Cold Weather Payment scheme if you receive certain benefits. 

You’ll get a payment if the average temperature in your area is recorded as, or forecast to be, zero degrees celsius or below over 7 consecutive days.

You’ll get £25 for each 7 day period of very cold weather between 1 November and 31 March.

The Cold Weather Payment scheme runs from 1 November 2022 to 31 March 2023. Check if you can get a payment in your area.

Cold Weather Payments are different to Winter Fuel Payments.
