    I think the quickest way would be to ask your gp for a duplicate sick note, but beware some gps' do charge for this.
    Maybe someone else will be along with a better idea in a min.
  • DWP is good excuse to ingorne u! My sick note lost in post twices and recorded delivery say they had signed it at DWP benefit delivery centre and ask me to resent sick notes. They full of lies!

    make an appointment with ESA to have your sick note scanned in at your local jobcentre, it gets to them quicker this way too, as once they scan it, they will post it in their internal mail system.
  • ah great tip sniggings...didnt even think of that...will get duplicate from dr on monday and do this.
