DWP clarifies payment and benefit rules for people on PIP due to go into hospital this year
The Department for Work and Pensions has clarified what happens to scheduled payments and entitlement to Personal Independence Payment following a hospital stay which lasts longer than 28 days.
In the written response earlier this week, the DWP minister explained that when someone goes into hospital and is receiving daily care from the NHS it is only their payments which stop, not their entitlement to PIP. Once someone is discharged from hospital, payment of PIP restarts from the date of discharge.
“This is on the basis that the NHS is responsible for not only the person’s medical care, but also the entirety of their disability-related extra costs and, to pay PIP in addition, would be a duplication of public funds intended for the same purpose. “
