Thanks.from what you gather how lenient are doctdoc with backdated sicknotes? I think they might undeunders the situation. Dwp make it hard to know all the stuff.

I really can't answer that question for you, as it depends on the GP. You will need to speak to your GP and tell him/her what's happened. They will either agree or not to backdating it. Good luck.

Thanks poppy. I think in a few months after Christmas things will be allot easier.

Good luck! Be prepared for a long wait as some areas there's a backlog of 1 year for Tribunal hearing dates. I'm assuming you're appearing in person as this will give you the best chance of a decision in your favour.

Yes indeed, some will agree but some won't. It depends on the GP.

Ok so i got the sicknotes backdated . I sent them of to the dwp place along with tribunal ref number and my details . Is that all i need to do? 

Jimmy1985

Sent them yesterday 

poppy123456

That's it. I'm assuming you added a covering letter and added your NI number to everything you sent?

Jimmy1985

I wrote a letter about the situation and included my ni number but didn't write it on the doctors note. How long will it take to receive payment now poppy do you think?  

poppy123456

I have no idea how long, sorry. Give it to the end of next week, then ring them.
