There should be the numbers on the award letters. You are aware that you can keep these benefits for a certain amount of time when the claimant goes into hospital?Sealed pot challenge #232. Gold stars from Sue-UU - :staradmin :staradmin £75.29 banked

It is vital that you inform all benefit offices of your change in circumstances.
With DLA if you are in hospital after 4 weeks within a 12 month period your DLA will stop.
However for ESA you will be allowed to carry out getting paid for 52 weeks, however I think that rule has changed and you will be able to get it indefinitely.
The simple thing is let the benefits offices know and they will advise you accordingly.0
