Support when in hospital

If you go into hospital we can pay your benefit for up to 52 weeks provided that you are expected to return home within that time. You do not need to contact us before you go into hospital to receive benefit for the time that you are in Hospital. However, if possible you should ask a friend, or relative, or a hospital social worker to let us know where you are as soon as possible.
