    Again be wary of them treating any notification as a change of circumstances. You really only need to inform them if you will be in hospital for more than 28 days (after which your PIP payments would stop) or if you have repeated stays in hospital separated by less than 28 days which in total come to 28 days.

    If you do tell them that you have been in hospitable for just a few days be very clear that you are only telling them because they told you that you should but that your difficulties have not changed and you are not requesting a review of award.

    Thank you @Tori_Scope, it’s not easy an easy process at all, but with sufficient information and evidence it can be easier. I am just going to relax at home :-)
