You will only get the LCW element automatically if you have or have been potentially in contact with someone with the Coronavirus, claims based on other problems will require, as far as I know, a Fit Note, supplying one is important as it sets the date that the Assessment period starts.

The requirement for an on-going Fit Note has been suspended.
