I have been awarded PIP enhanced award for mobility and care, I have been asked if I would like to go abroad for 12 weeks, my Question is do I have to inform the DWP about this, and how can they check up?

You are required to inform the DWP of any absence from the UK mainland of more than 4 weeks.

I think it would be naïve to assume that with all of the electronic tracking of people leaving and entering the country that there is no cross check to the benefit system.
