in PIP, DLA, ADP & AA
Hi everyone, I was taken to hospital on 21st for one night with a suspected stroke. Do I have to notify DWP? I had to go to court to get my pip back and dont want it stopped again. I was discharged to my friends address as she has no stairs. This is only a temporary measure until physio is sorted. Anyone any idea whether this is going to mess things up for me.

    I am sorry to hear you have been in hospital, in answer to your question your PIP will not be affected it is only for hospital stays of 28 days or more

    I wish you a speedy recovery

    Thank you. I don't want to claim extra at the moment because they would probably stop what I already get so I hope they don't ask me about whether things have become more difficult (they have) 

    Thank you for your kind words.

    They wont ask you anything until you are due to be reassessed or if you reported a change in condition
