Hi,

I am in receipt of Adult Disability Payment, I have osteoarthritis in both hips and due to have a right hip replacement in one week’s time, the other hip will be done 3 months later. Do I have to inform that I have had the surgery and will I lose ADP after both hips are replaced?

    Heya @Duce and welcome to the community. 😊

    If the hip replacements cause your quality of life to increase, it may affect your ADP yes, as it's based on how your conditions affect you daily. And yes, you will need to inform Social security Scotland after any operations that change your quality of life.
