Cold Weather Payments

[Mags22]

Do pensioners still get cold weather fuel payments when temperatures are below a certain level for several days?

[craft1948]

Pensioners in receipt of pension credits do.............

I think, Mags, that it depends which energy provider you're with. Some do this scheme but maybe not all.

Rosie, it has nothing whatsoever to do with energy suppliers.

Yes, it's pensioners receiving pension credit, and it is £25 for 7 consecutive days at freezing or below.
