Hi
This is my first time getting pip and I am a little confused. I have received my award letter which states backpayment is calculated from 6th Feb to 2nd April, which was paid 9th April. The letter then says you will  be paid every 4 weeks on a Wednesday in arrears. 
Will I get paid 8 weeks from 2nd April so I am in arrears, I am sorry but I don't really understand the letter.

    No, you won’t receive 8 weeks of money for your first payment. PIP is paid every 4 weeks in arrears. 

    Your first payment will be around 30th April but it will depend on what day of the week your payments are. It will be the same day each time but a different date.
