Do I still need to send in sicknotes?

I have recently been placed in the WRAG. Does this mean that I no longer have to get Medical Certificates from my GP to send to the DWP?

Hi,

Once a decision has been made to award ESA (either in the WRAG or Support Group) then GP issued Medical Certificates (sick notes/fit notes) are no longer required.

It should explain this in your award letter.

Thanks very much, Pete, for your quick reply. That's one less problem to worry about. Cheers!

I had been on ESA Support Group for 6 months without a GP sick note which I was told at my first medical but after 6 months past and I was still in the support group I was called for another medical and from then on I had to supply a GP Fit Note.
