Hi,

PIP has nothing to do with fit notes. Are claiming any other benefits like ESA or Universal Credit?

For Universal Credit, if you've reported a health condition then you'll need to send fit notes and continue to send them without any gaps until you've been assessed for the work capability assessment and a decision's been made on your claim.

For ESA it's the same... continue to send the fit notes until a decision's been made.

Hi @jnrr - & welcome to the community. If you're claiming other benefits, then yes, you continue to send in fit notes. Being awarded PIP doesn't change the need to keep sending them.

Hi guys I’ve just been awarded pip , will I have to still get aFit note off my doctor every month 

You never need to provide Fit Notes for PIP.

If you are claiming ESA or UC are required to provide Fit Notes because you are waiting for an assessment that will not change as a result of getting PIP.
