Hi John c
Your GP has made a mistake if this is your first Fit Note as per the following guidance :-
In the first 6 months of a patient’s condition, a fit note
can cover a maximum of 3 months. If a condition has
lasted longer than 6 months, a fit note can be for any
clinically appropriate period up to ‘an indefinite period’
