KEIGHLEY'S MP has confirmed people on selected benefits in Keighley and Ilkley would have become eligible last week for Cold Weather Payments. John Grogan has said recent freezing conditions affecting his constituency triggered an alert for these payments for the period February 23 to March 1. For the extra money to be made available to people on certain benefits, the average temperature at a specified weather station – in this case Bingley – must be recorded as, or forecast to be, zero degrees centigrade or below for seven consecutive days.
