Hi all. Looking for help with fit note dates please. I’m currently waiting for my work assessment, and my first fit note is about to run out on the 3rd of Nov. I rang the drs today and the receptionist said they will only do a new one if I ring on the 4th of Nov but my dr isn’t there that day. My dr has already said in our last app she is happy to extend and that I just needed to call a few days before and she’d get it ready for me. But the receptionist wouldn’t even pass this msg on. I’m really concerned I will end up with a gap and lose money because of this. Should my I be able to request a couple of days ahead that my dr have this ready for me?? Or does it sound right that I can’t do anything other than wait til the 4th when she’s not even there?! Very anxious any advice appreciated thank you

As long as the date on the fit note is a continuous one then you can submit it after the end date of old one
Some doctors are like that but you should be able to get one a few days before
I suggest you message the practice manager -
Thanks for your response, the people in my universal credit journal said even if the date is correct it needs to be submitted on the day and no later so that’s why I’m worried
