WHY! it's annoying like... in the way that when you see someone's bathroom tiles, and they don't QUITE match up, but it's so close... just out by like 0.5mm... and you sit there in their bathroom pooping, but it's not even a satisfying poop because you were so focussed on the damn tiles. Why are they not both £300? Why £301 and £299?
it is done that way so that if the payment doesn't arrive the DWP can track which payment is missing

The slightly different payment amounts are to make it easier for DWP and HMRC to track which grants people have received in order to minimise fraud risk.
