PIP is going to a tribunal over residency, can I travel in the mean time?

So its taking such a long time that I can now go on holiday again (im allowed 3 weeks per year)

I was allowed 3 weeks in 2025 but I didnt take it because of fear, and mental health, in 2026 if Im ready for it Ill go somewhere safe, unless that will affect residency again?

Will it affect PIP and residency or not? I was out of the country for 4 years while claiming benefit money which is why its at a tribunal

I probably wont because my mental health is too severe, and it brings back trauma, but Id like to know theoretically if im allowed because I want to be able to live too that is my dream

thanks

    Hi @Georgina76576,

    If you're able to, it may be worth speaking to a benefits professional about this to see if they can advise you. They will be a lot more familiar with current rules and regulations on things. Turn2Us have an advice finder to look for local help:
