It has been announced that Cold Weather Payments have been triggered across Carshalton and Wallington.
These payments will be paid automatically to people on certain benefits in areas where the temperature is 0°C or below over 7 days. If you're eligible for the payments, you'll get £25 for each 7 day period of very cold weather between 1st November and 31st March.
Find out if you're eligible on the Government's portal: www.gov.uk/cold-weather-payment, where you'll also be able to find out more about the payments.
