Cold weather payment

[kidley 48]

Hi

 

Are the government still paying this i cant say i have seen anything on S/F about it if they are still paying it i would have expected a bit more activity on S/F

To pensioners only I think

[kidley 48]

i think they should be paying some thing out considering the weather we have had, with nobody posting on here about it i thought they may have stopped it.

"The Department for Work and Pensions has been notified that there have been 2 periods of very cold weather in the S8 postcode area between 1 November 2012 and the current date 28 March 2013."

 

Only 2?

Looking at the link it seems those unemployed who paid in don't get it, just the noncontributing. What a mad system.

Suppose it depends on how they determine "periods". Could mean weeks.

Yes it is still on, ime surprised that nobody has mentioned it though things of this nature seems to get a lot of post normally

Yes as Kidley says its ongoing some have received it already.

I did think they stopped it apart from for pensioners, must have been wrong, or maybe it was just talked about and I got the wrong end of the stick.

Who or who was the non contributing, in your opinion of course!
