I have children and grandchildren living in Africa and the Far East. If I am absent from the UK for a period of 13 weeks I will lose my DLA benefit. Will I lose my benefit if I am absent for 7weeks , return to  my home in the Uk for  2 or 3 weeks and then absent abroad for 8 weeks?  Anyone with a similar experience?

    For DLA it's 13 weeks and it doesn't matter how many times a year you go out of the country for. Are you claiming any other benefits? because they will have different rules.

    Hello @Traveller2

    Just to let you know, I popped your post into our PIP, DLA and AA section of the forum, in case you had other questions or queries. 

    Welcome to the community! :) Are you getting around the forum ok?
