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.
peace love and freedom.

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
