when PIP ask if one has been in hospital for 28 days, does the infrequent overnight stay deternine as to whether they can reduce ones payment, or does the 28 day ruling have to be in one chunk. It sometimes appears that they look for any loopole to penalise the individual.

Hello I think its a block of 28 days or more the odd overnight stay doesn't matter its like having a long weekend away.

Hi,It's not just a block of 28 days that count. There's something called linking rule.
Hospital stays that are 28 days or less apart are added together and counted as one stay when calculating how long you have spent in hospital.
The day you are admitted to hospital should not be counted in the 28 days.If you have two (or more) separate short stays which are 28 days or less apart, the same rules apply
I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -
