Cold Weather Payments will begin to be paid out throughout the current winter period.
The government-funded scheme was set up to help those most vulnerable pay for their heating when temperatures drop below zero degrees Celsius. Those eligible for the payments will receive money if the average temperature in their area is recorded as or forecasted to be zero degrees celsius or below for seven consecutive days.
The government confirmed that this year's scheme started on November 1, 2023 and will continue to run until March 31, 2024. That means you could receive the £35 payment across a four-month period as long as the correct weather conditions are met.
