Hi guys

I'm new to my child getting dla, she got her back pay on 6 12 24, jus wondering when the next lot will go into my account? Will it be a Friday again. Does it fall on the same day as everyone else or is it different days like pip?

    Everyone’s payment day will be different like PIP is. It’s paid every 4 weeks on the same day each time but the date will be different.

    Based on the information you gave your next payment will not be on Friday. It’s most likely the start of January. The award letter will tell you what day of the week to expect payment and you just count 4 weeks from the last payment, or there abouts.

    You were told incorrectly. DLA is paid on weekdays, Mon to Friday and everyone's payment day will be different. Which ever day it is, you'll always be paid on that day but the payment date will change each month because it's paid 4 weeks in arrears.

    You only received the money that was owed on 6th December so you will not receive a payment this Friday. Money that's owed is paid first and then 4 weeks later your first 4 weekly payment will be made.

    Have you got the decision letter yet? If so it will tell you what day of the week your payment will be. It will also tell you what date the money that was owed was paid up until. From there you should be able to work out what date the first 4 weekly payment will be.

    Or you can just ring DLA and ask what date your next payment will be and they will tell you.

    The closest I can get (a tenner out) for 15 weeks is Middle Rate Care & Low Rate Mobility.

    It could be a number of award combinations from mid rate care and low mobility, high rate care and no mobility. The only way to know for sure is ring or wait for the decision letter.

    As mentioned it is best to just ring up to find out the answer, or wait and see what arrives in the post! I hope it is what you were hoping for 🙂
