I think you have to be over 65 to get it - that said I got £100 from my local branch towards it.

Cold weather payments are paid to people on certain benefits but not DLA or CA. If you are entitled you would receive payment automatically. You do not need to apply. Winter Fuel payments of £200 are paid automatically to anyone born before 5th january 1951.
