Advice and help applying for benefits

Changes to benefits

Some benefits are affected if you go abroad, move into residential or nursing home or if you go into hospital. For example Attendance Allowance and Disability Allowance will be affected after four weeks in hospital either in one stay or sometimes when added together. Other benefits can be affected too.

If your circumstances change, or you want more information about how benefits are affected, contact your local Jobcentre Plus office or Benefits office.
