UK families If you have a disabled child or child under five living with you and you get either Income Support, income-based Jobseekers Allowance, income-related Employment and Support Allowance or Universal Credit, youre eligible for Cold Weather Payments. Cold Weather Payments are made when your local temperature is either recorded as, or forecast to be, an average of zero degrees Celsius or below for seven days in a row. Youll get £25 for each seven day period of cold weather between 1 November and 31 March. Cold Weather Payments are normally paid automatically so long as you are on one of the benefits mentioned above and your child is classed as disabled. gov.uk/cold-weather-payment/overview
