Temporary time abroad
Where an individual is temporarily abroad at the point of transfer, the time limits set out in temporary absence from the common travel area begin on the date of transfer (ADP Regs, reg 16).
We will not always be able to tell if someone is abroad at the point of case transfer. Therefore, we will contact the individuals and ask them to contact us if they are currently or are planning on going abroad in the near future.
Example: Individual is temporarily abroad at point of case transfer
Lori normally lives in Scotland but is in the USA at the point of case transfer for medical treatment connected to a lifelong disease. Lori continues to be treated as present in the common travel area for purposes of Adult Disability Payment for 26 weeks, beginning on the date her Adult Disability Payment entitlement begins. This means she should not be excluded from being entitled to Adult Disability Payment for 26 weeks from the point of case transfer.
