Reporting Hospital Admissions

My Son is on ESA Support group and is frequently admitted to Hospital (Several times in one month)
As Roger advised I have informed Job Centre Plus.
Waited on phone for 60minutes at a cost of nearly 5 pounds!!!
Would it be allowed to write each time?
Thankyou.

    Have a look at Saynoto0870 to try and find an alternative generic number, I presume you are using 0870 or 0844 etc.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    Doesn't work.
    Anyway - cheaper than a stamp - https://www.cfhdocmail.com/index.html lets you send mail from your PC.
    If admissions are very frequent and short, I would contact them each time for the first month, and if this results in no changes in benefit,
    on the last letter, say you will be advising them monthly.
