    Thank you very much indeed jennystarpepper. 

    That is very kind of you. 

    I did go to a big rock concert yesterday, so that was an early birthday treat.

    You'll be paid every four weeks, so if you want to identify a calendar month in which there are two paydays then you'd need to keep adding four weeks onto your last actual pay date to work it out.  Or are you saying you believe you've been underpaid somehow?

    There isn't a "13 month payment".

    There are 13 4-weekly payments.

    When did your State Pension start?
