in PIP, DLA, ADP & AA
I was due money which is for three weeks two days. They had it in the letter how much this would be, but on the 9th April the benefits increased.
My award hasnt included the yearly increase despite arriving in the 19th.
My next payment will four weeks from then- they have pinched a week.


Feeling pretty screwed over-
DLA month in arrears was the new lower pip 
First pip was only for three weeks two days, lost a week as next date is another four weeks away.
Yearly increase not been added.

    Because I lost over £100 a week, any increase is valuable.
    But I understand what you mean. My award was three months ago!

    I'm ok with it because I don't fit the new criteria.
    But the messing about with taking a week and not giving me the increase from the 9h they told me about bothers me.

    PIP went up a bit.  The increase should show in the May payment as the increase lags behind as PIP is paid four weeks in arrears.

    So they have pinched a week by doing that. 
    If you have been on DLA three weeks behind, you lose a week.

    I think PIP is paid 4 weeks in arrears but maybe it is also paid three weeks in arrears like DLA.  I'm not sure.

    I don't know how it works. I just know I am losing one weeks money because it's four weeks until the next one.

    PIP is paid 4 weeks in arrears. What DLA award did you have and when was your last payment for this? what PIP award do you have and when was your first payment for this. I'll gladly help you if you answer those questions. Lots of people are totally confused when transfering from DLA to PIP money.

    DLA I thought was three weeks behind one week advance.
    On March 26 I received my last DLA payment for three weeks. £77.65 less than my award had been.
    March 28-19 April pip pay three weeks as well. My guess is to move the week and day in line with the pip system. Next payment is 17 May. 
    Both sides are probably correct but my statements show a lose of money.

    I know that when I first transferred from DLA to PIP the first few PIP payments were in dribs and drabs for maybe two months until DWP started paying me the right amount on the right day of the week every four weeks.

    They assume that people can manage like this with bills going out etc. 

    Was your DLA arrears payment cut. It's "supposed" to run smoothly.

    I think I get that I won't get the yearly increase until next month because I assumed my first payment was back in March with that cut.

    To get the correct information regarding how much and how often with reference to your own surcastances phone DWP,who,I am sure will enlighten you. There is a lot of I think this or that which doesn't help those who want to know.
