hello,      can anyone explain please.   my husband gets high rate Attendance allowance,  which went up at the beginning of april 2023.    for this month ending 28 april, he received £397.65  for the month.    I understand the amount increased to £101 per week,  so should he have received £404 ?

thanks.

    Simply because you have not yet received the full 4 weeks at the new rate. Your next payment will be £404.

    thanks for taking the time to answer.      I suppose I thought because the new payment started approx 6 april, that m my husband would get new rate for 6th - 28 april.

    thanks

    I believe that the new rates started as from the 10th April
    Old rate 6th - 9th
    New rate 10th - 28th

    Additionally 6th - 28th is not a full 28 day period - it is 3 weeks and 1 day.
