I'm afraid you need to keep sending the Fit Notes until your Tribunal result is actioned by the DWP and you start receiving your award, the ESA payment system requires an active Fit Note to release payments of the Assessment rate.

or
abroad - 2 days, 2015, 4 days, 2015, 2 weeks 2016, etc = 4 weeks in total

I don't understand the context of the question on going abroad. do they mean going away for as long as four weeks at any time during the last 3 years, or do the mean going away on separate occasions over the last 3 years that ultimately adds up to four weeks in total?

If you are an existing claimant then it is about you not exceeding allowable periods that you can be out of the country for.
