    I got my text then the back payment on the 4th day and then the letter came,.then the first payment will come 4 weeks later (this is for me)

    Ring the pip number and after answering the security question it tells you the first payment date and amount (amount isn't always correct on there)

    Potentially the end of this week. Providing you didn't transfer from DLA.

    I rang the number says my next payment is on 31st October for £505.40

    if that’s correct it’s more a month than I thought so will be very happy

    The automated system isn’t reliable. The figure you are quoting looks exactly like Standard DL and Enhanced Mobility. 
    Backdated sums do not show on that system and are paid separately.
