is temporarily absent from Great Britain for more than 28 days where an absence is
in connection with treatment in relation to their limited capability for work, or
the health of a dependent child, provided they continue to meet the other conditions
of entitlement. In these cases, ESA can continue to be awarded for the first 26 weeks
in a 52-week period.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, where ESA claimants travel abroad
for NHS treatment, or move to live with a partner or close family member who is a
serving member of the armed forces there are no time limits.</p>
