Sick Note What Do I Do With It

Forgive my stupid question have never had one before

My doctor has given me a Sick Note Called a Statement of Fitness for Work


I don't work at the moment, But my wife does and we get tax credits as having to kids.


So my question is what do I do with it.


It is for Severe anxiety and panic attack and also recurrent costochondritis/Chest pain (this is a quote from the note) it is for 6 weeks to start off for.


So what do i do, do i use it to try claim DLA or ESA or something else

If you are off work then you need to get a copy to your employer to receive Statutory Sick Pay (SSP)

If not working, you can use it to claim for some sort of allowence (can't remember which one).

I would look at the government web site (just google it) and it should tell you what you are entitled to.

Hope that helped.

Thanks Daniel.

Will do that just seems like to many to me.
But will look

I've just had a look and I believe it would be ESA.
