Recommendation 5
5
Paragraph: 27
Revise Cold Weather Payment for daily rates, minimum temperature, and advance payments.
Recommendation
In its current form, the Cold Weather Payment is an outdated, old-fashioned scheme. The Government should revise the Cold Weather Payment as follows: to be applicable on a daily rate after a one- or three-day cold-wave below freezing; to be based on the daily minimum temperature and not on an average; and to be provided in advance of forecast cold events.
