    That is a very common story, in fact, mine is almost the same!

    Were you on Statutory Sick Pay up until the last day in June?

    If you were within the 28 weeks when they sacked you, you have a claim against them.

    Apart from that...

    You would have been better off just claiming JSA, and you could saved yourself a lot of hassle.

    yes fill in the forms but you do not appeal in person

    You still need the cause of sanction in a letter and you should have been sent one so mention that in the appeal!

    You can claim JSA even if the you have a fit note. It is up to you whether you think you are fit for work, you don't need a signing off note any more.
