Issue Cold Weather Payments for 3 consecutive days of 0°C weather

Petition Details

Please issue Cold Weather Payments when there are 3 consecutive days where weather is recorded as, or forecast to be, 0°C or below, rather than after 7 days. The price of gas is through the roof and it's getting more expensive for people to put their heating on.

Additional Information

Gas prices and the cost of living are very high. I live with disabilities and the colder the weather the worse my joints are. I can't afford to put my heating on for more than half an hour a day and when the weather drops below 0°C it's very hard.

I believe with the cost of heating Cold Weather Payments should be issued after 3 consecutive days of 0°C weather, rather than 7.
