He gave me a Cert for three months, I could use the leg etc, but that is how easy it was, nowadays, this problem is still going on.

I read an article a couple of months ago that a young man who had lost a leg, as he was SEEN kicking a ball, with his only leg. The benefit people stopped his benefit.

This is wrong.

not that easy.

workplaces accept GP notes, but IB/ESA have their own doctors. GP notes will be enough to start off on benefit but it doesnt work for the duration.
