You need to make sure your work coach has referred you for a work capability assessment they should do after being sick for over 28 days but they are not always very prompt at doing this
You wont get any forms till this is done also bear in mind backlogs and current situation with reduced staff and home working
Be aware this process can take several months for completion
Have you spoken with your work coach again about it?
Unfortunately the pandemic, combined with the current weather, aren't making postage times super reliable right now.
