    You do not need to inform your employer about your WCA decision. 

    SSP is paid for 28 weeks. What happens after that will depend your employer and/or employment contract. It’s not an easy or straightforward process for medical dismissal. 
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    Thank you poppy,
    I was thinking to stay on sick leave for 6 months while I am on strong medicine prescribed after the operation because it has side effects. 

    I have called ACAS, they advised to look at my company Absent Policy.
