Hospital and PIP was created by juststu
I have recently been in hospital for 9 days.
Do I need to declare this to PIP and Pension Credit ?

Hi juststu

Yes, you are supposed to inform them. www.gov.uk/going-to-hospital-benefits

How will a 9 day stay in hospital affect my daily living PIP?

I understand that a 28 day stay the benefit will stop
Will the 9 days be part of an accumulative number towards the 28 days and if so what is the period

Hi juststu

It won't affect your benefits. The cut off is 28 consecutive days.
