Hello everyone, I was awarded Daily living standard rate of £55.65(£222.60) on 21-03-18 into my account, £16.37 on 11-04-18, today £151.05, anyone know why?

Thanks Twiglet,

    Hi,

    Yes, it's most likely because of the way it's worked out. The first payment is usually for 3 weeks money. If you add those 2 payments together and take it away from what you should have had then you'll be left with £55 ish. Which is the weekly money. Next payment will be 4 weeks and for the correct amount. You can also ring them and they'll explain it to you.

      Thanks Denise, I rang DWP, you were spot on again. they said £16.37 is one day, £151.05 is 2 weeks and 5 days, and I will get full payment on 09-05-18, of £229.20, as the Daily living standard rate has increased to £57.30 weekly. 😀

      Thanks again, Twiglet,
