"The Department for Works and Pensions (DWP) has activated cold weather payments in more than 400 postcodes as freezing temperatures hit the UK. Those households who qualify will receive a one-off payment of £25 to help support people during the cold winter spell. When the Met Office issued weather warnings for snow and ice, households who are eligible will receive money to help with their bills."
"As temperatures plunge, Cold Weather Payments will automatically get support directly to vulnerable households. Combined with the biggest ever Pension Credit take-up campaign and our Triple Lock commitment - set to increase the State Pension by up to £2,100 over this Parliament - we're ensuring pensioners get the support they need this winter."
The Department for Works and Pensions activated Cold Weather Payments in 441 postcodes in response to freezing temperatures. Eligible households will receive a one-off payment of £25 to help with bills during the cold winter spell.

Combined with a Pension Credit take-up campaign and the Triple Lock commitment, the State Pension is set to increase by up to £2,100 over this Parliament to provide additional support for pensioners this winter.
