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!
Write down the day you were last paid.

Add 28 - Subtract the number of days in that month.

That should be the date you get paid next month.S'only arithmetic .
