Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone else has had experience of contacting PIP with regards to being out of the Country for more than 4 weeks and what the outcome was please?

My friend receives retirement pension and PIP and wishes to visit her daughter in New Zealand for approximately six weeks. However, it seems she has to contact PIP if she's planning to be out of the country for more than 4 weeks and Gov.UK says PIP MAY be affected.

If this is the case does anyone know what criteria she may have to meet to be there for more than 4 weeks - or indeed if it stops if it's immediately reinstated on her return?

She also has a Motability Car - so is this affected also if she's out of the country for more than a month?

Any thoughts or experiences welcome - thanks in advance

Hi HJ

Your friends PIP claim will stop if going abroad for more than 4 weeks, when it stops the knock on effect will stop their entitlement to the Motability scheme.
