I am currently unemployed through no fault of my own and I have just been put on a waiting list to have my bowel removed. I am on income based JSA. I do not know when the operation will be but I am assuming that I will get some kind of notice beforehand. What I want to know is do I need to tell the jobcentre now that I have been put on the waiting list or do I need to wait until I am given a more specific date as to when I will be undergoing the operation. I have been told that because I have opted for key hole surgery I could be fully recovered within 12 weeks but if there are complications then recovery time would differ. That is all the information I have on the matter really and I really don't know what to do next. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
