<p>Many thanks for your enquiry. I have passed on your questions about the cognitive ability measures to my colleagues who will be able to respond later in the week.</p>
<p>With regard to your income questions, please find the answers below:<br />- What is the difference between the categories "calendar month" and "four weeks"?<br /><strong>A calendar month is the period of time elapsing between a given date and the corresponding date of the next preceding month. So somebody being paid monthly would get 12 payments in a year but somebody being paid on a four weekly basis would get 52/4=13 payments. So the two periods refer to different amounts of time.</strong></p>
<p>- Does the answer "calendar month" give any information about when the payment that the two variables refer to occurred? For example, does "calendar month" imply that the respective payment occurred at the end of the calendar month?<br /><strong>Its is not possible to ascertain when in the month the payment occurred.</strong></p>
<p>- Is there any other information available regarding the date the last payment was received? For example, "the last payment occured on 5 December". If not publicly available, would there be any such information that researchers could get access to under certain conditions?<br /><strong>This information is not collected in Understanding Society.</strong></p>
<p>We hope this helps - and I will be able to respond to your other query as soon as I hear back from my colleagues.</p>
<p>Best wishes, Victoria</p>
