just to reconfirm :-- should the following wording in GL24 form protect his right to appeal

"I do not agree with your decision to find me fit for work, as decided in the Decision Notice letter dated 13/03/13."

I would therefore like to appeal this decision"

"As I explained on phone to your office the decision notice arrived 17 days late, so I will provide further supporting evidence ASAP."

And should he send med3 with this form if he can see get appointment with gp before the deadline date or he can post it later ASAP.

I would be more explicit.

"I understand that this request for appeal may be received outside of the normal one month this is because..."

Ideally he should send the Fit Note with the GL24, but I would not delay in sending the GL24, so if necessary it can be sent separately, this being the case, state that this is happening on the GL24, and do not forget to keep a copy of the Fit Note.

In the case of a Fit for Work Decision, the claimant should receive an ESA65 notice, this is classed as a Statement of Reasons by the DWP, so there is no opportunity to extend the appeal period.
