You need to report changes as soon as they happen. Any delay may mean you receive too much money and will have to make a repayment.
A holiday can be for up to one month but you must stick to the conditions of the claimant commitment you agreed to when first applying. That will probably include having to show evidence of looking for work - such as a list of jobs you have applied for. In a worst-case scenario, a claimant could be asked to come back home for a job interview or to start work.
The updated PIP guide says: "We will need to know the date the claimant is leaving the country, how long they are planning to be out of the country, which country they are going to and why they are going abroad."
