A breakdown of triggers by country along with number of payments can be found in the official statistics for cold weather payment (CWP) estimates here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/cold-weather-payment-estimates-2021-to-2022" target="_blank">Cold Weather Payment estimates: 2021 to 2022- GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)</a> Expenditure on Cold Weather Payments can be found in the Annual Social Fund Reports here <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/social-fund-annual-report-2020-to-2021/social-fund-annual-report-2020-to-2021" target="_blank">Social Fund annual report 2020 to 2021 - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)</a>. The 21/22 report is due to be published in the near future and thus 21/22 expenditure is an estimate based on the Cold Weather Payment Official Statistics. Cold Weather Payments are not ring-fenced. Funding for the Cold Weather Payment scheme is demand driven and expenditure varies each year depending on how cold the winter is.
