hi.
i am really worried i have made a claim just over a week ago and spoke to them yesterday to give my bank details, i have now recieved a txt message stating my new claim has been awarded but i have not sent a sick note i i have them in the cupboard what the hospital gave me when i got discharged but i dont know what to do with them.
it is a mental illness that will never go away is that why?
im really worried and dont know whatt to do i have never claimed this before but doctors say im unable to return to work

You will need to send the sick note in - give them a ring and they will tell you what happens next.

I believe you can do that. They should be able to scan/copy them and then send original off. Hopefully somebody else could confirm. You should ring and make appointment if you can as I think that's how it's done nowadays.
