I'm pretty sure that if you went to see the financial advisor at your bank they would come up with an equitable solution.
It seems that you are in a minority of people who see the 4 weekly payment as a problem. If more people found it to be a problem then I am sure someone would have done something about it before now.
I am just thankful to be getting a pension.
