Hospital stays

If you are entering hospital you should notify us about any housing or council tax benefit claims you may have.

You should also notify the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).

It is important you contact us and the DWP as your entitlement will usually be reassessed to take account of your new circumstances.

If you were not claiming any form of benefit prior to entering hospital you may be entitled to claim.

You should also contact us and the DWP again when you leave hospital so we can reassess you claim and see if you entitled to any new benefits.

For further information about how your benefit is affected by a stay in hospital contact Liberata on 01934 888 136 or 888 138.
