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 seven consecutive days. Cold Weather Payments do not affect your other benefits and do not need to be applied for. These will be automatically paid to people who qualify.When will you get the payment? You should get the payment within 14 working days, after each seven-day period of very cold weather. These payments are made into the same bank or building society as your usual benefit payment.
