JSA - GP's sick note

gettingready

Scooby - that must have been for over 14 days though?

What I have found out now (and someone else may find useful) is:

While on JSA one is allowd 2 periods of up to 14 days each of being signed of sick. Up to 7 days one can self certify but 7-14 days need doctor's certificate. The 2 periods need to be 8 weeks apart at least for JSA not to be affected. Otherwise one has to apply for ESA.

While signed off sick - one does not need to meet ASE requirement.

And that is what I was looking for, not the moral high horses trying to educate me how to deal with my daughter.

One asks for information but there is always some that prefer to have a dig at personal level.

Guess some people are just bored and love trolling around upsetting other people.

You really need to let your daughter get on with all this for herself. You always seem to be posting about what Jobcentre she has to sign on at and whether she needs to do an apprenticeship when it's realy down to her, as an adult, to sort these things out for herself.

I'm afraid you seem to me to be doing her no favours by doing everything for her.

I would suspect there are learning disability or mental illness issues with the daughter.

You can "suspect" whatever you like but this is not what the thread is about and I am under no obligation to explain anything.

I asked a simple question, looking for an answer without people trying to get personal for no reason at all.

On who's behalf is the question is not relevant.

And this happens over and over again and again - for no reason whatsoever.

If one can not help with the answer - what is the point of posting at all?

Hi,

Can anyone possibly advise please?

DD got a sick note from the GP for 2 weeks (till 26th November).

She signed on yesterday (13th) and seen the GP after her sign on appointment.

Her normal 2 weekly sign on should be on the 27th - she will attend that as her sick note is till 26th.

BUT - JC wanted her to attend extra this friday and next Wednesday.

I assume her sick note cover that?

I know she is allowed "2 periods" of sickness in a year as far as JSA is concerned, she has a GP sick note.

Can she email her "advisor" and notify her about this sickness and will this stop them trying to push her to attend extra Friday and Wednesday which are NOT her sign on days? Her next sign on day is 27th and she will of course attend then.

Sorry, hope it makes sense?

Thanks for any help xx

So has your DD told Jobcentre she is sick, as this all happened yesterday ?

She needs to report that she's sick & can't/unlikely to go to those additional appointments.

@ ILW Oh yes, of course.... yawn......

Just keep something in mind - if you put your previous comment on a thread where someone's daughter really was disabled/mentally ill.. someone may have found it rally upsetting.

Perhaps try to be a bit sensitive in your future "useful" posts?

Off to bed, with my six cats and a 38.5 kg GS girl... :P

Yes she did as she went to sign on straight from a hospital where she had an appointment with a consultant (pre-booked of course)

She had to go to GP to get a sick note which she did. Same day when she was in the hospital. Hospital am, JC pm, GP evening. And emailed her JC "adviser" to confirm she has a sick note.

Adviser is a pain in the.. so wanted to cover all angles, just in case.

All sorted now, thanks.
