Hostel pip advice for friend

Hi a friend asked me to post this on there behalf

“ I have been filling out a pip form for reassessment and I have a question about my homeless hostel situation.

So in context I recently moved there, yet to inform DWP of change of address(will do soon though) but it says on the form

“Have you been in a care home, nursing home, sheltered housing, a resident college or hostel in the last 4 weeks”?

Then after it says:

“Are you paying all your costs for your stay without help from local authority, health authority, educational authority, DWP or charity”

I get housing benefit that pays most of the cost, with me needing to pay a service charge also by myself. I also get provided with meals there.

Will I end up losing my daily living component of PIP as a result of this, and also what does housing benefit come under on the form? Do I need to tick the hostel on the form or just change my address?

TIA!”

My friend is worried they’ll get there daily living pip suspended as a result of this.

Hi thanks for your answer, what boxes should my friend tick then? Will he lose his DL of pip with housing benefit paying?
