    I am a bit confused.

    I always thought that DLA is paid 2 weeks in arrears and 2 weeks in advance.

    Have you just been awarded it, or has it just been renewed?

    has your award been increased?

    does your old claim end on 20th march?

    they pay 2 weeks in arrears abd 2 weeks in advance. the payment you received today could be bringing the pld claim to an end ready for the new one to start next wee.

    If you get paid on the 15th of the month, the money you get will be for the whole of that month, so the two weeks previous (arrears) and the two weeks still remaining in the month (advance).

    Is your payment half of what you usually get?

    I am assuming that that is the end of your claim and a new one has been opened. You next payment should be a normal one. Does your paperwork say when they might make a payment.

    If you have any queries why not ring the DLA enquiry line? I have always found them to be very helpful.
