The Cold Weather Payment scheme pays eligible people who have experienced periods of very cold weather in their area a £25 payment for during that particular time. The scheme doesn t run year round however, and it is just weeks to go until it will end.
The postcode which has been triggered is ZE1-3.
This means any eligible person for the payment who lives in the postcode can now expect to receive £25.
It will cover the period of very cold weather which was recorded as being from February 3 to February 9.
Baroness Stedman-Scott said: “Keeping warm throughout the winter is hugely important to staying healthy, which is why we pay to help heat homes when there’s a sustained cold snap.

“As well as Cold Weather Payments, we also run the Warm Home Discount Scheme and Winter Fuel Payments, so we have a number of schemes in place to help.”
