Hi
I am due to go into hospital for surgery soon and will likely have to stay in for 1 night. Do I need to let DWP know about this as a PIP claimant?

No, it won’t affect your PIP. Only hospital stays of 28 days or more affect PIP.0

Hello @JonnyGZB
Welcome to the community!
I see Poppy has answered your query, I hope your surgery goes well and you recover quickly.0 -
I see @poppy123456 says it won’t affect pip but do you need to notify dwp of this and potentially uc0

well i never notified anyone well from the dwp when i was in hospital when i had gallbladder problems and eventually its removal, but i don't get uc, so no idea on how that side works0
