PIP per month: the 4.345-week factor
DWP pays PIP every 4 weeks, so there is no monthly figure on your bank statement. To convert weekly PIP to a calendar-month equivalent, multiply by 4.345. This is the ONS standard (52 weeks divided by 12 months).
Why 4.345 and not 4
A calendar month is 4.345 weeks on average (4.345). Using 4 weeks under-counts your annual receipt; using 4.345 gives the true calendar-month equivalent that Universal Credit, Housing Benefit and Council Tax assessors use.

Use in benefit calculations
For Universal Credit and Housing Benefit, assessors use the monthly equivalent of PIP rather than the 4-week amount. PIP itself is not counted as income for either benefit, but the monthly figure is sometimes used to verify your declared income.
Difference from the 4-weekly payment
Your bank statement shows the 4-week cycle amount, which is smaller than the monthly equivalent (a 4-week cycle is 4 weeks, a month averages 4.345 weeks). Over a year, the totals match.
