To remind you to please claim for the DWP cold weather payment id you have children under 5

[winterwonder1]

Sorry if IABU but please tell the jobcentre if you have children under 5 (or with disabilities) and you are on the benefits listed here. It's only £25 for each cold week but it will allow you to maybe put the heating on a bit more - and they can't pay you if they don't know. Once you're registered it comes automatically when the temperature drops.
Sorry. DWP Cold Weather Payment scheme launches for winter | The Oldham Times

Not unreasonable at all - it's buried right at the bottom that you have to tell them about children under 5. Great to spread the word.

It says it's automatic unless you've just had a baby or begin to look after a child under 5 though doesn't it?

Yes, once you're registered it becomes automatic.

Just to point out you have to be unemployed if you claim UC to get this. So we can't claim it.

Sorry to hear that.

You don't need to claim it. It's paid automatically if you claim a qualifying benefit.
