    He has had over 80 + fit notes go into the DWP, he has got to have screws put into the heel of his foot and pins in his leg as he has no bone in his foot, since covid he is finding it hard to see his doctor just like the rest of us, the uc are saying he is fit to work , his fit notes mean nothing to them , obviously they know more than a doctor or a consultant, is there anyway he can get an X-ray to prove to uc he is definitely not fit to work, it is really effecting him, he is getting very stressed and depressed, can anyone advice what he can do

    Unfortunately, a fit note isn’t proof that you are unfit for work.

    When was the most recent decision made that found him fit for work? If it was less than 13 months ago he needs to challenge the decision. 

    The first stage is the Mandatory Reconsideration and he can request this on his journal, if he has access to one.
