hi there

I'm wondering if anyone can advise

I did my managed migration application, I am a carer who is also disabled.

On getting help doing the online application I filled in my health conditions. I was verified as a carer

I was then asked to provide a sick note.

I have not filled in dates of sick note because it does not have it. On fit for work

It states indefinatly

The date I was assessed is day I wet to gp.

I explained in my journal to work coach that my fit note has no dart and end date .

reply to this

I just cannot put any date in as the system format does not allow me to

Can anyone advise. It only has the date of assessment on which is day I got my gp appointment.

I don't want to get into trouble putting a date . I am long term sick on pip

I would be grateful for any advice.

Kind regards

Jen

    Hi @jen1827 it sounds like you have quite a unique circumstance. The response you got is a little confusing and doesn't really seem to clarify what you need to put there.

    To be sure (because it's important you put the right information in that they won't dispute later), personally I would go back to them to reiterate you don't have an end date, because it states indefinitely, and ask what date you should put because you don't want to put an incorrect date?

    Best wishes,

    Thankyou so much for your reply and this is making me more unwell.

    I know you cannot get both carers and health as one will cancel the other out.

    The way he answers is for us to consider the health element , where you can only get claim one or the other makes me feel it's optional and would not make a difference as they have verified me as a carer with carers allowance

    I feel what's the the point

    I dont feel there's anything to gain , but more stress

    Thankyou so much for replying and I know I cannot be the only one in this situation or some may be inthis situation when they have to migrate

    God bless you

    Hello jen, the sick note is now called a 'fit note' - a Statement of Fitness for Work.

    The start date is the date of your GP's signature. Your GP has advised that "you are not fit for work".

    Your GP has deleted 'will' leaving "I will not need to assess your fitness for work again at the end of this period". That's clear enough for DWP.

    Report your fit note ending with a date in five years' time.

    hi Holly I just thought I would share the fit note so you can see what I mean about the dates and also the Gp has not put a signature on it just his dr name and practice

    Hope this help you see a clearer picture as I feel I don't always explain properly

    Kind regards
