the Social Fund Cold Weather Payments (General) Amendment Regulations 1995 (which set the cold weather payment at £8.50), and
the Social Fund Cold Weather Payments (General) Amendment Regulations 2008 and 2009 (which allowed for cold weather payments of £25 to be made in the 2008-09 and 2009-10 winters respectively).
