Long term illness and work

Hi, I'm currently signed off work due to mental illness. I am in the LCWRA group, so don't have to provide the DWP fit notes, but I can't find any information if I need to keep providing them to work. They have been told why I am off, and that I am LCWRA but I have had no response. Please any advice would be great. Thank you.

    Hello @pandaq and welcome to the community. You are best off asking the HR department are your work but yes, typically you do need to continue giving them to your employer while you remain employed.

    Hi and welcome to the community 

    It is normal practice to have to submit a fit note to your employer 

    They have no connection to your lcwra so if they employ you they need your gp to verify your absence with a fit note
