Additional eligibility rules can apply for the different benefits but a person may get Cold Weather Payments if they get:

• Pension Credit
• Income Support
• Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA)
• Income-related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
• Universal Credit
• Support for Mortgage Interest

The Cold Weather Payment scheme has been replaced in Scotland, meaning residents in Scotland can no longer get them.

Qualifying people may be able to get a Winter Heating Payment instead, worth £50 a year.
