Christmas Date Changes for PIP and ESA

Hi

Over Christmas my PIP and ESA payments were moved to the 23rd December 

Does this have the knock on effect on making the payment date for PIP in January four weeks from the 23rd December?

trying to figure out how far I have to stretch the heating and food costs out.

thanks

    The December payments were made early because of Christmas. Your January payment will be made as normal and you count the weeks from when the December payments were supposed to be. So for PIP if your December payment was supposed to be 27th then your Jan payment will be 24th.
