For Universal Credit claimants, cold weather payments are usually awarded specifically to those who are not employed.
This includes those who are not receiving any work through self-employment.
Additionally, the claimant must have a health condition or disability and have limited capability for work (with or without work-related activity).
They could also qualify if they have a child under five living with them.
