What happens to my benefits when I’m in hospital?

 
You will be reminded that it is your responsibility to contact the Benefits Agency about any changes to your entitlements.  For example:

  • Attendance Allowance and Disability Allowance both end at 28 days from date of admission, but can be reinstated after discharge to your own home.
  • Severe Disablement Allowance reverts to standard Income Support after 28 days.
The Welfare Rights Service can give you information via their Advice Line:

Tel: 020 8317 4872
Textphone: 020 8855 6815

Monday, 2pm – 4pm
Thursday, 10.30am – 12.30pm.
