Everyone feels the cold, regardless of age but I'm guessing that this payment goes to people who are most likely to suffer serious health issues i.e the very old and the very young. Everyone gets cold but some are more likely to become ill, or possibly even die, than others.
I don't qualify for the payment myself.
