I dont get any cold weather payments either (have a 'works pension'), but I don't begrudge it to those that do.
I have £25 a week more than them every week of the year, and some people are raising the next generation on the amount per week I get for just me.

I might feel a bit guilty about having a 'comfortable retirement', but I did work 35 years full time to get it, and I don't use my doctor and so spend quite a bit on alternative medicine.
