My friend has or will be put into the lcwawra, but........... The doctor's surgery are claiming they've never heard of a fit note, and don't know what one is? What the actual hell? What now?

Hi Judy, does he have a coach on Universal credit who can intervene, or is it possible for him to see another GP, maybe go with some print offs online about it?

I hope this gets resolved, really frustrated when professionals don't know about the benefits system, they are sometimes too busy in the health world.

Hi Judy,

A fit note is a Med3 or sick note, i think you must have spoken to a new member of staff or somebody having a bad day

I would phone them back and ask for Med 3 sick note

They've said they can't intervene, all they can do is give him more time to get a fit note.

Hi Judy,

Well that is the oddest thing I've ever heard from doctor's surgery. Are you sure there isn't a misunderstanding?

Surely the GP must have had patients in the past who were unfit to work.

Phrank.

Hiya,

Yes i guess the staff member was having a bad Tory Johnson day, you know partygate n all lol. So decided to take it out of the poor disabled /sick claimant - patient.

Guess this will soon become the norm if it already hasn't.

Good luck to all.
