Hi @Elizabeth69 - & welcome to the community. I don't know why, but we have had a few members on LCWRA who have also been asked to get a fit note! As you'll know, LCWRA is ongong (until a new decision is made), & you don't need to supply fit notes any longer.Just put a note on your journal to that effect & that should get things sorted.
