sick note

Options
Hi, I've been off sick for over 2 weeks and I've spoken to my doctor and have have been advised they are going to charge me £10.00 for a sick note.

Is this correct? When I was working full time there was no charge. I can understand a charge if it was less than 7 days.

I admitted it was for my university since they have requested it and currently I'm on leave from work.

Please advise. It does seem very unfair for if I was to say it was for my employers the'd be no charge.

    If it is not for benefit (SSP/ ESA etc) purposes, they can charge for a private sick note.
    Gone ... or have I?
