The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) hands out the extra £25 to certain households struggling to pay their energy bills.

The cold weather payments are made in locations where residents experience continuous below-zero weather.

Households can get £25 up to three times for each seven-day period of low temperatures from now until March 31.

Health officials issued a red weather warning yesterday, meaning that vulnerable people could be more at risk with the extreme temperatures.
