Money Support
From budgeting and benefits to insurance and energy advice. We can help you make the most out of your money by providing expert financial support.
Cold weather payment
The recent cold weather has triggered the Department for Work and Pension’s Cold Weather Payment for parts of the North East, including some of our tenants. The one off amount of £25 is paid when the average temperature in an area is recorded as zero degrees celsius or below for seven consecutive days.
You could be eligible if you receive certain benefits, including Universal Credit, pension credit, income support or jobseeker’s allowance.
This payment should be made automatically within 14 working days to those who are eligible. But if you think you’ve missed out, please get in touch.
