Uc and fit notes

Peggy0011

Hi I'm looking for some advice please. I work & claim housing element from UC but I was off work with fit note from September to November due to mental health. I'm currently off again as from Friday 7th Jan - I've had a message in my journal to send fit note to uc I'm just wondering what happens now regarding this as on Monday I will be adding my health condition to uc and applying for lcwra, can anyone advise me please, thanks

You will need to go through the Work Capability Assessment process.

It's really important that after your first Fit Note you continue to supply them without a break, no gaps none backdated etc.
