    One of the requirements of receiving PIP is that you are present in Great Britain on each day that you claim for.

    PIP can be paid for up to 13 weeks while abroad with the agreement of DWP.

    Temporary absences

    You can still get PIP during a temporary absence from Great Britain if, at the beginning of your period of absence, the absence is unlikely to last for more than 52 weeks. In this case you can get PIP for:
    • the first 13 weeks of your absence from Great Britain, or
    • the first 26 weeks if you're going abroad for medical treatment.
