Full list of postcodes eligible for three Cold Weather Payments worth £75

Cold Weather Payments are trigged when the temperature drops across England and Wales.

They are worth £25 but you can receive multiple payments over winter if there are several periods of freezing weather.

Some households have already received two payments this year, totalling £75 - you can see a full list of all the eligible postcodes below.

Cold Weather Payments are awarded when the average temperature in your area is recorded as, or forecast to be, 0C or below over seven consecutive days.

These payments go to people on low incomes who receive certain benefits.

Most people should receive the cash automatically - although there are some situations where you won't, which we explain below.

Cold Weather Payments are not available in Scotland anymore - but you might be entitled to an annual £50 Winter Heating Payment instead.

Cold Weather Payments started again on November 1 and will run until March 31, 2023.

The Government uses weather stations in England and Wales to determine when a Cold Weather Payment has been triggered.
