    http://www.disabilityrightsuk.org/work-people-living-disability-or-health-conditions read this re permitted work - then ask for a PW1 form to fill out.

    Thanks for the link. I'll have a look at that.

    I actually received the letter from DWP today with the information about what they've paid me. And separately a letter from Atos with a questionnaire to fill in.

    The nearest GP appointment at my surgery is 3 weeks away so if I do continue the claim I'll have to send a late fit note. My next hospital appointment is around that time too so I'll have a better idea of how the medication is working then. I suppose it might be a good idea to keep claiming until the just to have the NI Credits paid, and hopefully my health will improve soon and I can start working properly again - it's been slow but I'm trying to remain positive.

    If you phone your GP surgery, you can probably get a new fitnote without being seen (as long as you have been seen during this illness and the GP agrees that you are still not fit to work).
