Is confusion as before this topic started I wasnt even aware of cold weather payments as a seperate benefit, I was always reffering to the winter fuel allowance, and since others here also were saying pensioners only its obvious they were as well. I only looked into it after yours and rizzys comments.

The cold weather payments are most defenitly not fair tho, eg. they also have a disability premium as a qualifying measure, obviously disability premium is a topup to benefits. It should really be based on income levels and nothing else and done the same way as HC2 certs are.
