The DWP has said that around 4,116,000 people are estimated to qualify this winter, with 1,165,000 of these being DWP pension credit recipients

An additional 200,000 individuals are now eligible for the £25 Cold Weather Payments, as announced by the Labour Party Government and the Department for Work and Pensions . As we approach Christmas , it's estimated that a total of 4,116,000 people will qualify this winter.

However, you may need to inform Jobcentre Plus if you have a newborn or if a child under five comes to live with you. These payments won't affect your other benefits. Cold Weather Payments are typically available to those receiving Income Support or income-based Jobseeker's Allowance and have any of the following: a disability or pensioner premium, a disabled child, Child Tax Credit that includes a disability or severe disability element, or a child under 5 living with you. Similarly, if you receive income-related ESA and are in a work-related activity group or support group, you'll usually qualify for Cold Weather Payments.
