Mr. Morgan

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what steps he has taken to publicise the arrangements and closing date for applications for claiming the special cold weather payments in respect of the February cold snap.

Advertisements placed in national and local newspapers at the time of the cold snap explained how to claim and advised that claims would be accepted up to three months after the period of cold weather. Local radio stations broadcast information and posters and leaflets were also distributed by local offices.
