Hi just another question about my pip and the homeless hostel. It is a hostel I am at in temporary accommodation that also provides meals everyday but as I said I get housing benefit with me covering the short fall of that which is about 50 pound a week.

I am just wondering though, does that still mean both my pip & ESA are unaffected and will remain the same and also I will be entitled to both components of PIP still, specifically daily living?

Hi Oreobiscuit

I cannot see why being in temporary accomodation will affect your benefit, if you were in hospital then PIP would stop after 4 weeks.

If you are worried I would advise you to contact your local Welfare Rights Organisation; advicelocal.uk
