Cold weather payments have been triggered for eight postcode areas in Northern Ireland, as the cold spell continues.
The £25 payment is made to people living in areas where the temperature is recorded or forecast to be 0°C or below for seven consecutive days.
Overnight temperatures have fallen below freezing in the past week, and will do so again in the coming nights.
The Met Office has issued a new yellow weather warning for snow and ice which is in effect until 11:00 GMT on Tuesday.
The cold weather payments are made automatically to those who get a qualifying benefit, and people living in these areas do not need to do anything to claim the money.
The Met Office’s yellow warning for Northern Ireland, which began at 15:00 GMT on Monday, warns of rain, sleet, and snow showers which will lead to icy stretches in untreated areas.
It said a slight covering of snow is expected in some places, and perhaps up to 5cm of snow on the hills towards the northern west, including the Sperrins.
Due to the nature of showers, not everywhere will see the wintry conditions.
Belfast International Airport has said it deeply regrets the “frustration and inconvenience” caused to passengers on Sunday night who “had to wait an unacceptable length of time to disembark their aircraft and to collect their luggage”.
The airport said these delays were caused by the knock-on effects of the severe weather “which impacted the airlines’ handling agent Swissport’s resource”.
It added that airport staff on the ground were deployed to assist Swissport alongside their existing responsibilities to minimise any impact.
The airport said that those passengers who were unable to retrieve luggage on Sunday should contact Swissport directly.
