Double Cold Weather Payments have been distributed to certain households this week following snowfall in various parts of the UK. Cold Weather Payments, valued at £25 each, are granted whenever the average temperature in your area dips to zero degrees or lower for seven consecutive days. In cases of prolonged freezing conditions, multiple payments may be received.

Currently, 18 postcode regions have met the criteria for two Cold Weather Payments, totaling £50, triggered on December 30 and January 6. These areas include:

The Mirror recently disclosed that 451 postcode areas have qualified for Cold Weather Payments this season. Eligibility for this payment is linked to claiming specific benefits or mortgage support. Payments are automatically deposited into your bank account within 14 working days if you qualify; however, application is required if you have a baby or a child under five living with you.

Administered by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), Cold Weather Payments will continue until March 31, 2026. In Scotland, Cold Weather Payments have been replaced by the Winter Heating Payment, valued at £59.75.
