It wouldn't be difficult to calculate what the weekly pension equals per month and pay it in 12 instalments instead of 13. S'only arithmetic!
If it's such a big problem, have it paid into an account, and don't touch it for a year.

The following year, divide it by twelve, and 'pay' yourself a monthly salary.
