This is on the basis that the NHS is responsible for the entirety of the person’s disability-related extra costs and to pay PIP in addition would be a duplication of public funds intended for the same purpose. Once someone is discharged from hospital, payment of PIP recommences from the date of discharge.</p> answering member constituency Truro and Falmouth answering member printed Sarah Newton question first answered 23/05/2018 15:06:30 answering member 4071 label Biography information for Sarah Newton
