Hi @PapaG,

Welcome to the versus arthritis forum. 

You are recent diagnosed with Degenerative OA and are hoping to be eligible for Disability Payments. I note that you reside in Scotland and hope that the following articles may be of interest:

If you struggle with your entitlement to ADP then it may be worth contacting our helpline who may be able to help. Contact details are below. 

I hope joining the forum proves to be beneficial for you. 

Best Wishes
