Hospital Day Case Procedure was created by Tala30
Hi

I have severe OA in both hands, and my Consultant stated that I can have a thumb replacement joint on one of my hands.

This would involve going in as a day case and going home the same day.
I received PIP / UC and Housing Benefit If I decide to go ahead with the hospital procedure, do I have to notify them??

I know you have to if a hospital stay is 28 days plus you have to, but not sure about a day case.

Really stressed out and suffer from anxiety disorder, many thanks.

Hi Tala30

No you don't need to inform the DWP of a day surgery appointment.
