Hello, All

Hope everyone is well.

Can anyone tell me how long can i be hospital before it affects my PIP and Universal credit. I have been in hospital 12 days and should be going home in a day or two. Do I have to inform PIP and universal credit when I'm discharged? Would my hospital stay affect the amount of money I receive on other benefits? I would be grateful for any information.

Thank You.

    Hi @Trufflecake

    You can be in hospital for up to 28 days before it affects your PIP and potentially Universal credit. I hope you are doing okay!
