Building on our experience and successful projects, we develop and promote new ways of helping people with mental health problems get and keep work.
This week (6 April 2010), the sick note has become the fit note.
GPs can still advise people they 'should refrain from work' but the new option allows them to say that patients 'may be fit for work' taking account of certain factors.
For more information, visit the DWP fitnote website or read the ACAS summary.
