Do LCWRA UC & PIP know if you’ve been abroad? I have mental health illnesses but wonder if they know you have travelled without notifying. As I’m really worried anything would affect my claims due to me going abroad as family have paid for a holiday, I would rather not take the risk if it could affect my benefit

    As you've been found to have LCWRA then you have no work commiments so providing you go for less than 1 month then you do not need to tell them. If you go for longer than 1 month then entitlement to UC will end. You can go for longer if it's for medical treatment.
    For PIP you can go away for up to 13 weeks.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
