To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether she has made an assessment of the potential merits of suspending the rule stopping personal independence payment, disability living allowance and attendance allowance after a 28 day stay in hospital during the covid-19 pandemic.

We have no plans to change these rules. Once someone is discharged from hospital, payment of these benefits recommences from the date of discharge.
