uin	155384
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/06/2018 answer text <p>Young adults admitted to hospital prior to their 18<sup>th</sup> birthday can continue to receive payment of Personal Independence Payment (PIP) until discharge. Where someone aged 18 or over is maintained free of charge while undergoing medical or other treatment as an in-patient in a hospital or similar institution funded by the NHS, payment of (but not entitlement to) PIP ceases after 28 days. 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 25/06/2018 11:30:24 answering member 4071 label Biography information for Sarah Newton
