Petition Action

Stop the DWP writing to GPs asking them to stop issuing sick notes.

Petition Details

The DWP routinely write misleading letters to GPs of benefit claimants following a 'fit for work' assessment to tell them that their patients have been found fit for work and not to issue any more sick notes. This is often during the appeal process which the majority of claimants win.

Additional Information

This is disgusting and should be stopped to prevent vulnerable people from being unjustly denied the benefits they rely on.
