    You are welcome @gg2022. It is the very least you deserve.

    Hopefully, this helps to clarify things and reassure him. Please don't hesitate to let us know if we can do anything else to help  :)
    I thought I would update that his claim was accepted, but now has a 24 page document he has to fill out ( FIT TO WORK) completely confused to why he has to fill this out when he physically cannot work after his operation.
    It’s standard process. DWP will not treat him as not capable of work until the form has been completed and returned and processed.

    Has he received a letter saying he will receive payments, or did he just receive the form? Receiving the form doesn't mean his claim has been successful and he'll receive payments. The form will be sent either way because if found to have limited capability for work he will receive NI credits based on this.
