Have been in a similar situation, your friend will need to sign off benefit and then sign on again when she returns, they wont pay you to be out of the country.
If she goes and doesn't tell them it's classed as fraud, best she does the right thing and accepts that she will lose her benefit for the period of time she is away.
Sorry it's not better news

whose going to know she is over there, but i don't think it does affect because it isn't a long period of time, she's probably best asking the DSS, why would it cause suspcious she only wants to know what happens, it's not as if she is working
