AnnotationThis briefing describes the current arrangements made by the Department of Social Security (DSS) and the Benefits Agency for paying 'cold weather payments' from the Social Fund to eligible individuals. It also provides background information - how wind chill is defined and calculated, fuel poverty, and hypothermia - with regard to the Cold Weather Payments (Wind Chill Factor) Bill, presented by Audrey Wise in the 1996/97 Parliamentary session. The text of her Early Day Motion (EDM), no.235, 'Wind chill effects on pensioners' is also included.
