Cold Weather Payment

Cold Weather Payment

The Cold Weather Payment is a scheme provided by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) in the United Kingdom. It is designed to help individuals and families who may struggle with their heating costs during periods of cold weather. The payment is triggered when the average temperature in a specific area falls below 0 degrees Celsius for seven consecutive days.

Nottinghamshire postcodes are among the areas where the Cold Weather Payment has been triggered. This means that eligible individuals living in these postcodes can receive financial assistance to help cover their heating expenses. The payment is automatically made to those who qualify and are in receipt of certain benefits, such as Pension Credit, Income Support, or Universal Credit.

Local areas where the payment has been triggered:

• Nottingham - NG1, NG2, NG3, NG4, NG5, NG6, NG7, NG8, NG9, NG10, NG11, NG12, NG13, NG14, NG15, NG16, NG17, NG18, NG19, NG20, NG21, NG22, NG23, NG24, NG25
• Mansfield - NG18, NG19, NG20
• Newark - NG22, NG23, NG24, NG25

If you live in one of the eligible postcodes, you may be entitled to receive the Cold Weather Payment. It is important to check the official guidelines and criteria set by the DWP to ensure you meet the requirements. The payment can provide much-needed support during the colder months, helping you keep your home warm and comfortable.
