Cold weather payment recipients can check if they're due £25 payment

The payment may go out to people on certain benefits, including Universal Credit and Pension Credit, depending on their situation. People are automatically paid £25 when the temperature

drops below - or is forecast to be below - zero for seven consecutive days. The scheme runs from November to March, and payments have already been triggered in hundreds of postcodes. People

can check if they are due a payment using a postcode checker tool on the Government website. The checker works by a person selecting the country where they live and then they can put in the

first half of their postcode e.g. SE1. The tool will then come back with the results, telling the person if they are due one or more payments, and where their local weather station is

located, which is used to determine if a payment is due. READ MORE: STATE PENSION FORECAST: ONLINE TOOL SHOWS HOW YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO INCREASE AMOUNT These are the other postcodes where a
