Hi Lorraine @dragonslair
If you have been assessed as Support Group then you no longer need to send in sick notes, as the DWP go off their own assessment.
-One less thing for you to do!
Kind regards,

If you are still employed and your company are still giving you sick pay you still need a sick note. In my case my GP would sign me of for six months, this is the longest time you can have a sick note issued for.
