Every 4 weeks, I get my PIP payment of £272.40. I just noticed that 5 days after my last payment, I got another PIP payment (dated 25th March) for £3.84. Does anyone have any rough idea why I would receive this second unexpected minor payment? Thanks a lot.

HI @ESABenefitsUK123 that seems a very odd amount to receive? Might it be they calculated things wrong and that was a top up due to rate increases in April?0

I've had a thought. It could well be wrong, but here's the mathematics that came to mind -PIP mobility standard rate (before April) is £26.90£3.84 goes "in to" £26.90 almost precisely:3.84 / 26.90 = 7.01 (As in, 7 days a week!)Could it be that I have been awarded standard mobility, and that for some odd reason, I have been given an initial payment which equals one day?!2.5 weeks ago, I had a mini telephone assessment (12 minutes long), and was asked some health questions regarding my completed AR1 form.0

Possibly but we can only guess what it’s for and you would need to contact them to ask.0

Update to original post. I found out that it's one day's worth of backdated mobility payment.
