You need to inform the DWP on how long you plan to be out of the country, where you’re travelling to and why you are abroad
Benefits claimants have been warned that they need to update officials if they travel overseas. People who receive benefits such as Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment must notify the Department for Work and Pensions on changes in circumstance, which includes going abroad.
People claiming the disability benefit PIP must also let the DWP know if they have gone abroad for a holiday. Read on for the rules for Universal Credit and PIP. Regarding travel, if making a new application to receive Universal Credit, you must be in Britain on the day it's submitted. It should be fine if you travel abroad later that same day, or have come back from a holiday earlier that day.
Travel and holiday rules for PIP The Government's guide to PIP states that people must inform the DWP of changes in circumstances. Claimants must contact the Personal Independence Payment enquiry line if: "It is important the claimant tells DWP straight away about any changes in their life that could affect their benefit. Based on these changes their benefit may go up, go down, stay the same or it may stop. If the claimant is overpaid, they will normally have to repay the money. Failure to tell DWP about any of these changes may result in prosecution.
