They have not been axed - https://www.gov.uk/cold-weather-payment/overview

 

You'll need to put in your postcode to find out if you are entitled. I hope you stay warm enough this Christmas.

Hi gayguy. As long as you are on income based jsa and the average temperature falls to the trigger point you will get the extra £25 per week. The winter fuel allowance is for pensioners. Much warmer with someone in bed with you!

It doesn't often happen in the lower half of the country as the temperature has be an everage of 0 for the whole of 7 days. So if it's -2 Sunday through Thursday, 4 degrees on Friday and then -2 on saturday there is no cold weather payment.
