    so that doesn't make him/her unfit to work.

    I'm not sure I follow your point. confused-smiley-013.gif

    Doctors write a sick note for patients who are too unwell to work. What else would a sick note be for?

    Possibly, but this board is about helping people with their entitlement, not debating welfare policies.

    Someone with a sicknote is unfit to be working for the period covered by the note. Therefore the OP is currently unfit for work.
  • Are you for real? OF COURSE A SICK NOTE MAKES YOU UNFIT FOR WORK I think you're more likely one of these:

    Don't feed the troll's ego.

    I like the medical diagnosis via message board though. Perhaps the NHS needs to consider it?

    I've learned through a great deal of experience, that to judge someone's situation without full possession of the facts often leads to an incorrect conclusion.
