1. a hospital or
2. a similar institution to a hospital
payment of any component of PIP will cease, although entitlement will continue.

first day of entitlement to PIP.

Example 1

Rose was in hospital from 24.10.13 and was entitled to DLA. An assessment
determination had been made and the DLA was to terminate on 30.10.13. On
31.10.13 Rose is entitled to PIP, and this was put into payment. This means that
Rose is entitled to a further 28 days payment. On 28.11.13 Rose had spent 28 days
in hospital, so her payment of both components of PIP ceased from 29.11.13,
although she still had entitlement.

Example 2

Trevor was in receipt of DLA and assessed for PIP. His DLA terminated on 21.1.14,
and PIP was put into payment from 22.1.14. Trevor was assessed as being entitled
to the standard rate of the daily living component and the enhanced rate of the
mobility component. Trevor entered a care home, which was not a similar institution,
on 10.1.14. From 22.1.14 Trevor is entitled to a further 28 days payment of PIP
whilst in the care home, on transitional arrangements. On 18.2.14 Trevor had
received 28 days payment of PIP so from 18.2.14 his daily living component ceased
to be paid. His mobility component continued to be paid as he is in a care home.

Example 3

Amy was entitled to DLA and was re-assessed for PIP on 17.2.14. Her DLA was due
to terminate on 16.3.14, and PIP entitlement commences. However, on 10.2.14 she
had already been in hospital for 28 days, so PIP was not payable.

[P5096-P5105]

P5106 Temporary absence from GB when transfer claimants become entitled to PIP

Where a transfer claimant is awarded PIP and, at the date their DLA terminated,
they are temporarily absent from GB but treated as present under the DLA
regulations (1) either
1. for up to 13 weeks or
2. for up to 26 weeks because the absence is solely for medical treatment
then the period running from the date the temporary absence started down to the
date DLA terminated counts towards the 13 weeks of temporary absence, or (where
the absence is solely for medical treatment) the 26 weeks allowable in PIP (see
Chapter C2 International Issues - PIP for details of the temporary absence rules).
1 PIP (TP) Regs, reg 26

Example

Bill was receiving DLA. On 14.1.14 he was invited to claim PIP. He claimed
accordingly, an assessment determination was made on 27.1.14. On 7.2.14 Bill
reported that he would be visiting relatives in Germany from 5.2.14. DLA was
terminated on 25.2.14 and entitlement to PIP started on 26.2.14. On 4.3.14, a DM
considered the PIP rules on temporary absence from GB and, in accordance with
P5065, decided that Bill had completed 4 weeks of the 13 weeks allowable. Bill
informed the DM that he had now returned to GB, so the benefit remained in
payment.

P5107 Persons age 65 or over to be entitled to PIP in certain circumstances

Claimants may have entitlement to PIP (1) if they

P5117

If a DLA claim is disallowed and the claimant claims PIP, but then is successful on
appeal, the FtT will be asked to limit the DLA award up until the day before PIP
becomes payable from.

P5118

If the DLA claimant's appeal is successful (1) and
1. they have already made a claim for PIP and
2. the PIP claim has not yet been determined
then the DLA will be put into payment. Once the PIP claim is determined the DLA will
run on for 28 days before terminating, and the PIP decision implemented (which
could be an award or a disallowance) from the day following the date of termination (2).

Example 1

Carol makes a claim for DLA and this is refused, so Carol appeals. Meanwhile she
makes a claim for PIP. Carol receives a decision on her PIP before her DLA appeal
is heard, and she is award PIP, which is put into payment. The DMA advises the
Tribunal Service that any award of DLA made at the appeal must be limited to the
day before PIP is awarded.

Example 2

Charles makes a claim for DLA, but this is refused. He subsequently appeals this
decision, but also makes a claim for PIP. Before the DLA appeal is heard the PIP
claim is determined and decided that Charles has no entitlement to PIP, However,
DLA is awarded at appeal. Charles is then treated as transfer claimant and
notification is sent to him about when his DLA will cease. The termination of DLA will
be terminated after a period of 28 days from the date of the PIP determination.

Example 3

Wendy makes a claim for DLA which is refused. She appeals the DLA decision but
makes a claim for PIP at the same time. Before the PIP claim is determined the
appeal is heard and DLA awarded. At this point Wendy is treated as a transfer
claimant and DLA entitled person. The PIP claim is then determined and she is
awarded benefit. Wendy is then notified that her DLA will terminate in accordance
with transfer claimant provisions, that is after 28 days or any longer period the DM
decides. PIP is then put into payment on the first pay day after DLA terminates.

Example 4

Tony makes a claim for DLA which is refused. He appeals this decision but also
makes a claim for PIP. Before the PIP claim is determined the DLA appeal is heard,
and DLA is not awarded. The PIP claim is then determined and an award of the
standard rate of the Daily Living component is made and put into payment on the
first pay day following the determination.

P5119

If the claimant had someone appointed to deal with their affairs before the DLA
terminated, they will continue to act for that claimant once the DLA is reinstated, or
PIP becomes payable.
