Hi there,

i would say keep sending in your sick notes from your GP as any delay will mean payments may cease. Hope this is ok

You will need to send Fit notes until you receive a decision with regard to your claim.

In an effort to change the populations view of work, to a positive one :) we no longer have Sick notes but Fit to Work notes.
