I have just sent in my latest sick/fit note and for the first time received a text to say it had been received but also that I no longer need to submit sick/fit notes how legit is this text?

Should I ignore it and continue to send in sick/fit notes when due?

    It's OK, but phone DWP tomorrow for confirmation, are you or have you been assessed??.

    @Jean Eveleigh the site is bugged, you end up with 2 - 3 posts, just report the ones you would like removing if someone else doesn't do it :) 

    Give the DWP a call if you can.

    Hi @Jean Eveleigh
    They do sometimes confirm receipt of documents by text so this isn't a concern. However, I would call just for confirmation that you don't need to send sick notes any more.
