Hi will refusing more operations on my wrists stop my pip.iget top pip for daily living because of my bi-lateral wrist/hand osteoarthritis. Iv already had two operations on my left wrist proximal row carpectomy and a wrist denervation and it’s still the same pain and stiffness. My consultant want to give me two fusions or new wrists but I don’t really want any more invasive surgery I can lean to put up with the pain and discomfort

No, the DWP cannot make any assumptions as to what your limitations would if you had the surgery nor can they penalise you for refusing it.
