HI all,

    If you already have LCWRA then that is the highest award, you can't get awarded anything higher than that.

    What rate of PIP do you get?

    It is correct that you reporting being in hospital for PIP because this would stop if in hospital for longer than 28 days. The day you go in and come home are not counted. Once you go home if you return to hospital within 28 days then those extra days will be linked to your previous stay.

    You didn't need to report being in hospital for your UC.
