The DWP is set to issue five payments totalling £1,085 before Christmas
The Department for Work and Pensions is poised to distribute five payments totalling £1085 before Christmas. This comes despite the Winter Fuel Payment and Winter Fuel Allowance being scrapped by the new Labour Party government. Families facing financial hardship can look forward to a series of payments exceeding £1k. This timely cash boost will be a welcome relief as we approach the festive season, a time often marked by high spending for those on benefits.
The scheme typically begins in November and continues until the end of March, covering the winter months. To be eligible for a Cold Weather Payment, you need to reside in England or Wales and be claiming one of these benefits or Support for Mortgage Interest: Pension Credit, Income Support, Income-based Jobseeker's Allowance, Income-related Employment and Support Allowance, Universal Credit or support for Mortgage Interest.
