    I've never had any problems with my DLA payments. I get mine weekly, never had to phone up in regards to a missing payment.

    Ty bryando did not realise they pay weekly been told mine will be monthly.
  • I receive DLA every four weeks for my son, so it isn't paid on the same day each month. There are 13 payments in the year. I've never had a missed or late payment.
  • Can be paid weekly if you request although they arent keen,and yes its normally paid 4 weekly NOT monthly

    I get my DLA 4 weekly, same date each time (usually mid month) and haven't had a late payment yet :) Didn't know it could be requested weekly, though "monthly" works better for me as its easier to budget.

    If its paid on the same date each month, it cant be 4 weekly.

    My husband has been on DLA for 10 years now and he is paid monthly
    on 15th so 12 payments per year.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.
