Hi @rasberry congratulations on your award!

if you just times the weekly amount by 4, then you'll have your monthly figure.
There's 52 weeks in the year, so you'd times the weekly number by 52 to get the yearly figure.  I hope that helps.

PIP isn't paid monthly. It's a weekly benefit paid every 4 weeks. If you want to work out the monthly amount then you times the weekly amount by 52 and then divide it by 12. Although doing this wouldn't be right anyway because it's not paid monthly. 

There will be 1 month a year where you will receive 2 payments.

That wouldn't work because there's 4.3 weeks in a month and not 4.

You keep referring to it as "per month" it's not per month, it's 4 weekly.

What award exactly do you have? Is it your 4 weekly payment that you think is wrong or a lump sum from money that's owed?

That only happens once per year.
