PIP Back Pay Confusion

Question

I was awarded PIP on Monday. I called the automated line which told me I would get £306 today, of which I did. I also received a payment yesterday of £317! Is that payment I received yesterday my back payment? I’m confused because I sent my PIP form off in like March time so was expecting more…Should I expect more or is that it? Thanks!

You are best off waiting for that letter, then take things further if needed.

yeah £306.80 is correct! Should I give them a call or just wait it out?

Was it £306.80?

That works out at 4 weeks for Daily Living Standard (£76.70 per week) , but doesn't explain the other payment which is too low for that rate since March. Which is when it should be backdated too.
