Hello @solitarypants, no you should not need a fit note. Do you have access to your journal on UC yet?0

It’s standard procedure for them to ask for a fit note. If you’re in the Support Group for ESA then this isn’t needed because you’ll be entitled to the LCWRA element from the start of your claim.
If you have access to a journal now then put a message on there to tell them that you’re in the Support Group. If you have a recent letter from ESA then it would be useful to take that with you if you have to attend your local job centre as a new claimant.
It may take a few weeks for ESA to send your details across to UC. Once this is done your journal will be updated. You will then need to accept your new commitments, which will be to agree to report all changes.0 -
