Two payments triggered in my area, sadly being on cont based ESA I don't qualify.

 

estellyn, I just notice this I am also on c.b esa no payment for me

When this change happen?

While I was on I.B I was getting this cold weather payment.

is it dived and rule in full power play?

Were you receiving a top up payment of IS? Those on contribution based benefits don't qualify.

Nothing generated here yet. Still have lashings of snow though ...

no never has IS only I.B and D.L.A

I get CB ESA, but I'm also in the support group, so would I qualify for the cold weather payment?, it's all very confusing. x

Regardless of group, you only get a CWP if you're on income-related ESA.

thank you Antone,can I just ask you something else, my son is on Income based ESA, and has just had a letter saying he will be getting £25.00 CWP. so I checked on the govs website,and it says there has been 2 periods of cold weather, so should he be getting 2 payments of £25.00? sorry to be a pain x

I suspect there's a slight delay between the payment being triggered, the letter and receipt of payment. I expect he'll get another letter shortly ...

Yes, this is it. Each one is triggered separately, and the payment should arrive within 14 days of the "triggering". So yes, he should receive two payments, but they may not arrive at the same time.

the cold weather payment I am not entitled to, so no

[aw248]

Mine was sent to the bank yesterday £25, I received a letter from JCP today to inform me about it.

[Guest]

do people still on IB get the cold weather payment?

which seems wrong.

 

income based HB doesnt apply, people with HC2 dont qualify, holes on the system.

 

If I was on IS ESA instead of CB ESA I would have got 2 of these payments yet my income would be exactly the same.

No payments here yet, but there has been snow on the ground for more than a week now, do you get these payments if you are in the support group of esa?

If on income related ESA then yes, you should get your payment within 14 days of it being triggered.

One payment triggered in my part of London, but not received it yet. Was only a week ago though.

But on CB ESA you can have a partner working full time.

Im single, no partner so how is that good for me?

But if those with HC2 qualified, you'd have non-disabled students living in halls receiving it. How is that right?

 

None triggered here. Thankfully, it has started to warm up now.

And your E.S.A stops after one year.

Thats fine with me, it should be dependent on financial status. If someone has a HC2 they are vulnerable financially. The NHS (they give out HC2's not SWP) at least arent too lazy to just say oh you need income support to get one, they actually assess on income.

 

Or at the very least they could have ESA/DLA as a requirement still but remove the requirement to also have income based. Whatever the case the current method isnt fair.

Ok. Im really confused about the eligibility for a cold weather payment. I'm on income related jsa and so far have had one cold weather payment triggered for the period jan 14-20.

 

I don't have any kids, and as far as the job centre say I'm not entitled to it unless I'm over 60! From what the direct gov site says I am entitled to it. Can anyone help clarify this? Anyone on jsa and no kids receive it? It's nine days since the trigger and no payment so I don't think it's looking likely
