For those planning to leave the country for more than four weeks have the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) rules around holidays abroad that you should be aware of. These could affect your Personal Independence Payments (PIP) award and payments.
There are several changes in circumstances that people receiving PIP must tell the DWP about or they could risk losing their benefit entitlement and having regular payments paused.
Circumstances that don't need to be reported to the DWP are changing your name, doctor, health professional or address, these will have no impact on your payments or your award.
