Time in alternative accommodation

Where a client is in alternative accommodation

• immediately before the date their case is transferred
• was entitled to the daily living and/or mobility component of Personal Independence Payment but payment of it was suspended as a result of being in alternative accommodation immediately before the date their case is transferred
• is still in alternative accommodation on the date their Adult Disability Payment entitlement begins

the relevant components of Adult Disability Payment should be put into payment:

• from the date their Adult Disability Payment entitlement begins
• at the rate the component in their Personal Independence Payment award would have been paid if it was not suspended
• for a period of 28 days (Adult Disability Payment regs, Sch 2, Part 3, Para 14(a))
