Hi

I’m currently in hospital as an inpatient and I think I need to notify DWP once I am home?

I get ESA support group and PIP. It’ll be nearly two weeks as an inpatient if I’m still here on Friday but hoping to home in couple of days.

Could you please tell me what will happen once they know about my stay? Will my benefit be reduced by the number of days in hospital (assuming it will be). :(

Any idea how much I will lose due to my stay?

All help and advice very much appreciated.

With Many thanks, Richard
PS: do you know the phone number I should call?

Hi Richie

Your benefits are only affected if you are in hospital 28 continuous days - so from what you're saying there's nothing you have to do.

Hope you recover well when you get home.
