Husband, his Fit Note and UC
Hello,
I am disabled and claim UC - I have the full component of ESA/WRAG. My husband has been off work from his full time job, sick for 3 weeks. He is allowed another week off, as per his sick note.
My question is, does he need to update UC with a copy of his sick note? I'm worried that because I think I will receive more UC this month, and they might need proof of his illness? He's received SSP for two weeks of his last pay packet?
Thanks

Is this going to be long term sick or just temporary? If long term then yes he should report a change of circumstances and report his health condition and provide a fit note.
If it's temporary and he reports it when he returns to work he won't be able to be referred for a work capability assessment when his earnings are more than 16xNMW/week unless he's claiming a disability benefit such as PIP/ADP or DLA.0 -
Just short term. He should be going back to work once his sick note is finished.
Thanks Poppy.0
