I was awarded pip in December so decision maker clearly read everything the assor wrote down so why would I be sent a letter five months after the assent saying " in your assment you mentioned you were hospitalise" surely the descion maker saw what I said why wait five months to ask me ? I'm paranoid now as if what we are they going to ask me about after th Award has been giv n I was only in hospital for a day.

Hi @Cameron1984
Good Evening & Welcome ??
I’m very very sorry to read about your current problems with your “pip assessment”
I do think that we need some expert advice as this does I believe fall a long way outside of our remits!!!!!!!
Don’t worry tough as we have got some “Benefit Advisors”
These I believe are best placed in offering you “help/advice”
I will forward your post onto them straightaway.
They only help us out a few hours a week so please please come back to me “ASAP”
Hi @BenefitsTrainingCo
Can you please help me out with this post?
Many thanks.

The only reason that they are asking is that if you are in Hospital for more than 2 weeks you cannot claim PIP for the time you are Hospitalised but it will not affect you if you was only in for a day
It is only the DWP double checking in case they have overpaid you -
This is not correct. PIP stops after days of being in hospital not 2 weeks. This applies to those over the age of 18. https://www.turn2us.org.uk/Benefit-guides/Going-into-Hospital-and-benefits/Benefits-that-stop-being-paid-if-you-go-into-hospi
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.
