I'm not sure what your question is exactly. Are you asking if your PIP can be paid weekly? Usually it's paid every 4 weeks and not monthly. It can only usually be paid weekly if you have a terminal illness with life expectancy being 12 months or less.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

Hi @maria107, welcome to our community As Poppy mentions PIP is paid monthly and not weekly.
There is a month gap between your DLA and your PIP, but that should be covered I believe in your first payment.
Let us know if you do have any other questions are you aren't sure about anything that has been saidThey/Them, however they are no wrong pronouns with me so whatever you feel most comfortable with

OK I have finally found out what l am getting l get the lower rate for daily living but nothing for mobility, l can walk slowly with a stick l am not in a wheelchair. I can move about slowly with a stick
So each month l get £ 272.40 which is the lower daily living part. Which l am told will increase this month -
Benefits increase from 8th April. The weekly rate for standard daily living PIP will increase from £68.10 to £72.65. It's paid every 4 weeks and nothing monthly. Once they increase your 4 weekly rate will be £290.60.
If you disagree with the decision you can challenge it by first requesting the Mandatory Reconsideration. Please note that if you are state pension age and above (66) then this will be your last chance to be awarded the mobility part.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -
Thanks for info
My weekly pension increased today
To £221.00
However the £ 73.76 pension credit which l have been getting has suddenly stopped
I started getting my pension endJan 2023. But did not realise until April 2023 that l was entitled to pension credit, so it was back dated to January.
I tried to phone then today to see why it has suddenly stopped but could not get through. Try again tomorrow.
