Hi all,

Does anyone know who can sign sick(FIT) notes for the DWP for ESA purposes?

Apparently there are different sick notes from GPs and Hospital Drs? Also can nurses sign sick notes?

Thanks.

The guidance is attached but, in practice, getting a consultant to issue a med3 is like getting blood out of a stone.
