Hi diceman24

The length of time on a fit note would be up to your doctor. When you claim you will be treated as having LCW, you will not have to submit fit notes or undergo a WCA.

It may have changed but it used to be that the first two Fit Notes could not be for more than three months but after that they could be indefinite.
