    No they cannot.

    If you need advice, call Citizens Advice for clarification of your rights tomorrow. Try not to worry. Easier said than done however when it comes to benefits I know!

    HI,

    That's less than the 28 days allowed so no your ESA won't be suspended. No need to ring CAB because they will only tell you exactly the same thing.

    You were advised about this on your other thread here https://community.scope.org.uk/discussion/63846/esa#latest
    The day you leave and the day you return isn't counted.
