    PIP can continue for the first 28 days in prison but will then stop. That means her entitlement will end on 15th May.

    If she is released without a custodial sentence I think she can be paid any weeks she misses out on while remanded.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.

    Confirmation of the 28 day rule is in paragraph P4003 here

    i now think my earlier suggestion that any payments missed out on could later be paid if not given a custodial sentence was incorrect. (Unfortunately I can’t correct the earlier post.)

    Note that although PIP payments end after 28 days there remains entitlement to PIP so when discharged PIP simple need to be informed and payments will resume.
