Travelling abroad

I am aware that when in receipt of PIP one can only travel abroad for a maximum of 13 weeks.
I'm assuming that this is in any one year and could be repeated in subsequent years. Am I correct?
If I am correct, would it then be allowable to spend the last 13 weeks of 2020 abroad and continue with the first 13 weeks of 2021 before returning to the UK?

Thank you.
In order for them to be classed as seperate periods you would have to return home. I don't know if it a yearly allowance
Can you confirm that the 13 weeks is an annual allowance?
There still isn't, as I predicted, a cure for Covid and, despite rumours to the contrary, nor is there ever likely to be. Covid is similar to SARS and despite that occurring in the 1970's there never has been a cure.
