Full list of postcodes getting cold weather payments worth £25 direct to bank accounts revealed

Published on December 08, 2022 at 08:59 AM

THOUSANDS of low income families are in line for a cash boost as they battle freezing temperatures this winter.

Households eligible for cold weather payments could get £25 in cash right now to help with their energy bills.

Households can get £25 up to three times for each seven-day period of low temperatures from now until March 31.

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) hands out the extra £25 to certain households struggling to pay their energy bills.

The cold weather payments are made in locations where residents experience continuous below-zero weather.

Households can get £25 up to three times for each seven-day period of low temperatures from now until March 31.

Health officials issued a red weather warning yesterday, meaning that vulnerable people could be more at risk with the extreme temperatures.

And now the DWP has confirmed that cold weather payments have been triggered in dozens of postcode regions – meaning thousands could get cash.

We’ve listed all the postcodes that have qualified for a £25 cold weather payment so far below.

The payment is made automatically, including to those on Universal Credit.

Customers will have the payment credited to their bank account within 14 days of their postcode becoming eligible.

Last year, some areas which experienced extended periods of freezing temperatures received multiple payouts, adding up to as much as £75.
