hiall, i'm a 40 year old lady who has severe nerve problems within my spine, i have been on the higher rate dla for nearly 4 years now, i have recently been told i can now claim incapacity benefit (which i can get back dated to the begining of this year) however to finish the claim off i need a dr's medical note, i have been to my dr's 3 times now and cant get one as my normal gp is on holiday and the locum's wont do it, (as they dont know me and dont have time to go through my records) fair enough, but when i phoned the job centre plus to explain this they say i need this medical note and without it i will loose money, go back to the gp's and demand a sick note, i have and they still wont do it, i'm totally at loss what to do now as my dr's not back till the 1st july and these forms i have have to be sent back by the 20th june or i will loose all backdated money, i find this totally unfair and the lady at the job centre plus says she cant help and doesn't know what to say!! arghhhhhhh
