Always check fit notes!

Just a heads up really to always check what the GP has actually put on a fit note. Just sorting out renewal for my son while he awaits WCA and see that whilst they have indeed said he's not fit for work, they have only mentioned his ancilliary MH issues and not his overarching disability of quad athetoid CP! (It was on the previous one but funnily enough they haven't cured it in the meantime!) I've requested it be amended and thank goodness have asked for it in good time before the previous one expires.
