Monthly or Weekly or what ?

I went through hell - trying to get DLA and finally won
Could someone please confirm how often a payment is supposed to be made ?
ie) Weekly, Fortnightly or Monthly ?
Because I last received a payment on April 30th - nothing since

    DLA is usually paid monthly, 2 weeks in advance, 2 in arrears. If you count 4 weeks from when your last payment was made, you will find out when your next payment is due.
    The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

    I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.
