Hi and Welcome to the forum, you might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explain where everything is

Welcome to Benefits and Work

I'm afraid I don't know of any way that these fees can be reclaimed. The best I can offer is to say that, as the state is not providing the convalescence, your mother should be able to keep her AA. You should still notify DWP of her hospital admission.
