Fortunately the company my family member works for paid her in full for her time off which, as you state, is a long time off work. Possibly SSP was claimed and deducted by the employer, no idea of how that works nowadays.
As I've seen how bad it is I can see how easily a person could easily become crippled and unable to walk, especially as age creeps on. It might be better if it's that bad to find the finances if possible to support yourself while having the procedures carried out. Rather that than finish up in so much pain that it's not possible to walk or manage at all and if it's that bad working might be impossible too.
