Hi
Last year my partner was migrated from ESA to UC, now before this I had just been on her claim, but now obviously I technically have my own claim for UC as part of her claim.
Anyway, I have just received a request for a fit note from UC, the thing is I've never had a Fit note even though I have stage three Emphysema, Peripheral vascular disease, and cardiac problems......I claim PIP and Carers Allowance for my autistic son who I help look after.
Now as I say, I've never had a Fit note, because I've never been asked before, but obviously now I'm quite worried as there's no way I could physically handle work, mornings are a nightmare where it takes a good couple of hours to get my lungs to function properly etc etc.
I was wondering please if you could give me some advice as to what to do next.
Do I go and see my GP and ask him for a Fit note ?, or do I need to contact the Consultants who deal with my medical issues ?.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
