Universal credit form

I mite have posted this in wrong place but I'm struggling to fill this UC form in. It gets to the part about my condition and I've filled in my medical problems. Then it asks if I have a medical condition that prevents me from working , which I have as in disabled plus waiting for spine surgery. If you answer yes it wants a note from the doctor with a date on for when I get better. I won't be getting better as my conditions degenerate with time. So does it mean I need a sick note from doctor as didn't need one on ESA. I'm also in a support group and get disability income guarantee. I'm only changes to UC as moved address and my daughter gets my SDP now. Can't finish this form as I'm stuck.

I assume by you saying your daughter now receives your SDP you mean she’s claiming Carer Allowance so your SDP has stopped?

Handing in a fit note can trigger a reassessment so is definitely not recommended.

I can't understand why UC don't tell you to do these things anyway as I thought they were supposed to help you get the right benefits your entitled to. They weren't helpful at all. Xxxxx
I'm really glad yours has been sorted so quickly. Hopefully it'll be smooth sailing from now on but do let us know if anything doesn't look right with your claim or you have any questions.
