Thanks for your reply.
I was reading that link
(2) A claimant referred to in paragraph (1) is to be disqualified for receiving an employment and support allowance for such period not exceeding 6 weeks as the Secretary of State may determine.
157 (1)(d) “is, without good cause, absent from the claimant’s place of residence without leaving word with the Secretary of State where the claimant may be found.”
www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2008/794/regulation/157/made
After reading that if I do go abroad over night despite what I have been advised I would inform the DWP for certain.
But what I don't understand out of interest is what is the consequence for someone who receives ESA CB in Support Group if they decided to go abroad over night and did not inform the DWP (as they have been advised that they do not need to inform the DWP even though this states they do need too?)

Hi n1980,
I can see your viewpoint with regards to claimant's in The SG.
Unfortunately, The DWP make these rules, and you would have to put any such queries to them.
