Thousands of Britons struggling to keep warm this week during the -10C Arctic freeze may be eligible for a ￡25 cold weather payment from the government.

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) runs the Cold Weather Payment scheme for qualifying households to offer support during cold snaps like these.

This is a one-off payment of ￡25 that is triggered for every seven-day period where the temperature in a certain area is at or below zero degrees.
