No you do not need to continue to send in sick notes.

If you look at the letter saying you have passed the medical and have been placed in the Support Group it should say that you no longer need to send in sick notes.

Many thanks for your reply, but the decision letter doesnt mention medical certificates (sick notes) at all.

Hi,

My son and hubby are both receiving ESA and in the support group. Neither have had to send in sick notes since they were placed in the support group but like you there was no mention of sick notes at all in their award letters, we ended up ringing the DWP to check after reading a post like yours online.

I'm pretty sure it's the same for those in the work group too as it goes off passing the medical not which group you're in.

I had to check myself on here when i got put in the support group, but i can confirm you no longer have to send them in.
