To receive backdated money from the date you were found fit for work then you will need that sick note to be backdated. If it's not backdated then you'll lose that money and you'll only receive money from the date of the sick note.

Looks like il be loseing some money then why do things never go my way ?

Dotty123

Explain dr wouldn’t back date it may not work but trying anything helps xx

For ESA i'm afraid that won't work. A sick/fit note is always needed to be able to claim it.

Complain and ask to see another doctor, they can backdate when they feel like it.
