Fit note

It will be an error and there's been a few threads about this on here. In fact my daughter had the same back in 2021 and it's still on her to do list.

You can cancel what you clicked on and nothing will happen. Put a message on your journal and tell them you've been asked to provide a fit note but you already have LCWRA. As you're aware you do not need to provide any fit notes. They will either remove it or ignore it.

If it happens again you won’t be able to cancel that yourself. Though it’s unlikely to happen again.
I see from a previous thread that you’ve recently migrated from Tax credits but was also claiming ESA, in the Support Group. The reason why it appeared is because they didn’t switch off the automated messages asking to provide a fit note.

You have misunderstood what you read because that's not correct. You are already claiming UC anyway because you migrated from tax credits.

No need to be sorry, UC is complicated and confuses many people. Your son will not automatically be found to have LCWRA. When he claims UC he will need to make sure he reports his health condition and provide a fit note within 7days. He will then be referred for a work capability assessment.

He needs to make sure he continues to provide fit notes without gaps until a decision is made on the WCA.

As he's self employed then he will need to attend a gateway appointment with a work coach at his local job centre. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/universal-credit-and-self-employment-quick-guide/universal-credit-and-self-employment-quick-guide If found to be gainfully self employed he will be given a 12 month start up period where the minimum income floor will not apply.

If he's found to have LCW or LCWRA then the minimum income floor will not apply, even after the start up period.

He wil also need to make sure he reports his earnings and expenses on the last day of each assessment period. He will need to do this even if found to have LCW/LCWRA.

I have all this to come.I can’t get a fit note until wed .It runs out sat.I lost my job and was sick.IAnd wanted to put my claim in tommorrow online..So I’m going to see what I can do without it and not finish it so it’s in together.But I know from when my husband when he started esa he had bother as doctors kept doing fit notes late .Then putting wrong backdated date on.No one told him they didn’t have to be handed in when he went through everything.A friend told him.
