I have a question, do I have to report my hospital stay to UC?

    Hi @Agulu I'm sorry to read your in hospital I hope you recover soon. You can still get UC whilst in hospital, Alot of it depends on how long you are in hospital.

    You are supposed to inform Universal Credit when you are hospitalised for at least 24 hours. If it is less than 24 hours then you do not need to. I can't remember if you have LCW (or LCWRA) or not but the DWP will put you in LCW if you do not have it for the time of your hospital stay. They can also extend it after your hospital stay depending on your condition.

    I hope you're okay @Agulu!

    Hey Albus, thank you

    everything OK, this is an incredible story, it was not a coincidence, this hospital because my son was also in the same hospital, and I got a chance. I see the children already, I am waiting for them, we go shopping together

    That sounds really good @Agulu, I know you've been wanting to see them and spend time with them. I hope you have a great time!

    I called the university, added an entry to the journal, but there is no information in the journal, am I doing something wrong?

    Hi @Agulu, did you put a message in your journal online or by telephone?

    @Agulu, what did they say when you called them?

    If you've put a message into your journal it should show up there within a little while. But if it doesn't show up in the next couple of days, maybe you could try again to add a journal entry or give them another ring 😊
