Hi P,
We cannot really offer any more advice on "Holidays" other than we already have in : This Locked Topic.

Hi P,
Have a look at the link in :
This Post. You are allowed to go abroad for up to 13 Weeks whilst in receipt of DLA or PIP and 4 Weeks for ESA.
Many, many claimants do so without having any problems with The DWP.
The DWP do not state that your cannot go on holiday, they simply state that you should inform them prior to going away.
Problems may only occur if it was proven that any activities that you carried out whilst on holiday or in travelling to and from your destination were in direct contradiction to the stated limitations that gave you your DLA/PIP/ESA Awards.
e.g. You were awarded DLA/PIP/ESA due to you stating that you suffer Mobility/Mobilising limitations but were found to have walked hundreds of metres through the Airport, and then went "hiking" whilst at your holiday destination without suffering any problems in doing so.
You stated that you suffer problems with "sitting" but managed to sit on a 4 hour flight without suffering problems, etc, etc, etc !!
Really, very similar applies whilst you are at home, if you were seen to be carrying out "Activities" that were totally contradictory to the stated limitations that gave you your DLA/PIP/ESA Award.
As you may be aware, you can gain help with :
"Assisted Travel" from Airlines when flying.
