Will I be paid benefit if I appeal?
My letter states that''You MAY need to supply us with a medical statement while appealing.''
I have not received any money during the month I was appealing and am relying on the wording of the letter from the dwp to fight my nonpayment.
I received a statement from the Hospital and sent it in but it is not a medical certificate saying I am unfit for work and the consultant says they do not issue MED10 only GPs do that.Also I am relying on the word MAY, it is not an imperative.
Do you think I am right?

go to your GP and ask for a sick noye.
they wont pay you if you dont have a certificate to say you are unfit for work.
the letter says you MAY need a certificat whilst waiting for your appeal ... didnt you ask if you needed one?
the responsibility is yours, to find out what you should be sending them0
