Hello everyone I hope you're all well!

I applied for and was awarded pip. I had my backdated pay on the 3rd March. I was told that after that my regular payments would be every 4 weeks on a Tuesday.

I received my first payment on 25th March, which was only 3 weeks.

I'm a bit confused and now don't know if I'll receive my next payment on the 15th or the 22nd April?

Any help is greatly appreciated! I wish there was a way of being able to log into an account and just look at these things

Heya @oakley264 and welcome to the community.

Sometimes the start of your payments will be a bit weird. So you'll often get your backpay first, then the amount to take you up to your first payment date, then your 4 weekly payments start properly. I hope that makes sense?

Though if you are worried, you can always call the PIP helpline and they'll be able to give you the exact date.
