4 months agoUK weather live: London hit by snow as Met Office issue 70mph snowstorm warnings
To help support people during cold snaps like what we are currently experiencing, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) runs the cold weather payment scheme for qualifying households. This is a one-off payment of 25 that is triggered for every seven-day period where the temperature in an area is at or below zero degrees. An estimated 674,000 households across over 441 postcode areas can now expect a payment.
