FitNote/Medical Letter was created by Louise
Hello,
I have a NEW Work Coach and she has made me upload my Fitnote and requested me to get a letter from my GP explaining what i can and can't do with regards to a job.
She said i need to find a job while i am waiting for a decision to come back for my WCA UC50
My question is can she request this information? Is this standard practice?
I spoke to my GP and he told me they had to write to my Doctors Surgery and request this information and not be asking me.
Kind regards

Hi Louise
I would agree with your doctor.
You need to seek advice from your local Welfare Rights Organisation; advicelocal.uk who maybe able to help you raise a complaint, from what you have said, to me it sounds like a form of intimidation/bullying.
