Hi, I'm looking for a bit of help please.
I have looked on direct.gov about cold weather payments and my postcode has triggered a payment, however I'm not sure if I get one or not.
I am receipt of Incapacity benefit (long term rate) and DLA higher mobility and middle rate care.
Thank you in advance!

Am nowhere 60, so that is out!
What a shame that disabled peple are overlooked for cold weather payments when most would really benefit from them.
I guess I'll have to keep the heating on and worry about how much it will cost me later!
Thank's for your posting.
Having looked at the DWP site it doesn’t mention Incapacity benefit or DLA as being one of the benefits relating to a cold weather payment. See http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/moneytaxandbenefits/benefitstaxcreditsandothersupport/inretirement/dg_10018668.
It may be worth ringing your local job centre plus though (see http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Employment/Jobseekers/ContactJobcentrePlus/DG_186347 ) to double check this.
I hope this helps.
Regards
Nick
