    Hi,

    I'm sorry to hear that.

    As you're claiming PIP and ESA in the Support Group it's not clear what help you're asking for. Could you give some more information please?
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    No, you don't need to contact DWP because you were only in hospital for 2 weeks, if you were in hospital for more than 28 days then you would have needed to tell them.

    Be careful when ringing DWP about any changes because it's possible they will send you more forms to fill in for your PIP because it could be classed as a change of circumstances.
