I received my PIP payment this morning - £420.60

In a letter from the DWP, it quite clearly states that I will get £108.55 a week from the 8th April..  I get my PIP monthly, so that is £434.00.  I have only received £420.60 this month, why is this?

    PIP is paid 4 weekly, not monthly. The rate £108.55 is the new annual increase amount. The increase didn’t start until 8th April so this payment will be a mixture of old and new rates.

    You won’t see the full increase until your next payment and it will be £434.20 every 4 weeks. 
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
