    Hi @rita444. You don't need to tell them about your 5 day trip but if you feel more comfortable doing so, you can pop a note in your journal. You are allowed up to a month abroad without it having an impact.

    We told them last year that we were going away to New York and taking our daughter with us. Just put a note in the journal. That was all we had to do.

    I would always recommend telling them. It does not impact her claim, but not telling them can have consqeunces.
