What is a sick note?

A sick note, also known as a medical certificate, is an official document provided by a healthcare professional stating that you are unfit to work due to illness or medical reasons.

[reluctantlyunseengriffin]

Can I get a sick note for mental health issues?

Yes, SickNote can provide fit notes for mental health conditions such as anxiety, stress, or depression, based on your self-reported symptoms.

British Government continues to go after the vulnerable & the voiceless...? Obviously, because they can't look at themselves in a mirror.

Now Sunak is going after "Sicknote Culture"..... (??)

Typically sick of them.

It's the government's Sick System that needs overhauling.

They said that "normal ups and downs were becoming" overly medicalised". A DANGEROUS road to go BACK Down....

The problem always WAS people labelling serious mental health conditions as "ups & downs of life".

This caused IMMENSE harm to those involved, their family & those surrounding them.

Presumably a broken leg and the odd heart attack and stroke could then be argues to be the same, no? They've always been the ups and downs of life, just had to "get on with it", right?

"Sicknote culture" wouldn't even be so bad if the NHS services were fit for purpose and ABLE TO HELP people with psychological health conditions, or medical problems that waiting lists make WORSE...

... which is precisely what happened to me.

I was disabled by a serious medical condition because it took 18 Months to get a diagnosis, by which time I was already severely disabled and even THEN got NO treatment for it 🤔🤬🙎🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤨🙄😒 I was shoved out the door with nothing but a goodbye because not only no treatment plan, I was sodding discharged.

Needless to say I'm now buggered, and seeing no end to the decline it keeps putting me through.

There are too many people like me. I had a good job. A good life. I took a 50%+ "paycut" after being left so long it was not only unfixable it was progressive, and I was left squandering because ESA & PIP SUCK. Even had to go to tribunal because the idiot I saw couldn't work out the person in a wheelchair Couldn't Walk. Like — No one sits in those things for f*ng Fun!

So instead of respecting the NHS screwed me and a million more over by their tactics, they're victimising, bullying, harassing, threatening & TERRIFYING sick, vulnerable and disabled people.

If you want to claw back MILLIONS in an easy swoop go after the PPE thieves with the same gusto you do that someone has been overpaid 89p of benefits, instead of going after people in pain or despair, or both... Eh, Sick Gov Sunak?

Prime Minister announces plans to move responsibility for assessing fitness to work away from GP’s to “specialist work and health professionals"

Howdy! I really, really loved your HCs for Curly with an autistic SO! Since you asked for requests, if it isn't too much trouble, and if you're comfortable with it... maybe more HCs for Curly, but this time for an SO with ADHD?

Your work is wonderful, your writing is delightful, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Curly with an S/O With ADHD

A/N: Hiii ty anon! ADHD is something that runs in my family, both my brother and my dad have it, so tbh I might have it too. one thing I know is that I could definitely write this off the top of my head lol

Curly always had your back when it comes to your ADHD

He helps you build a helpful schedule so you're comfortable and gives you ways to remember to do important things, whether it's reminders on your phone or sicknotes in your workspace

He helps you take tasks one at a time so that you don't get overwhelmed by the workload and can get it done

He helps you remember when things need to be done or what time you need to leave

He's developed a mental checklist of all the things you need, making sure that everything is in order

if you forgot something, left the lights on, forgot to put away a dish, etc. he'll cover it for you

He usually has some type of fidget toy on him for you to use so you can focus

He'll let you ramble about your hyperfixation as long as you want, whether he meant to get you going on that rant or not, he'll let you keep infodumping until you're satisfied

If you feel bad about not being able to get tasks done or forgetting things, he's there to comfort you and reassure you that you're doing just fine

If you've had a long day, completely tired out and need to rest, he's right there for you, helping you relax and wind down for the night, assuring you that it's all going well

He allows absolutely no overthinking to happen whatsoever, helping you fully relax

Curly's always food for support, behind you when you need him, and on those tough days, he'll be there for you

I'm just going to present all of these articles without commentary. Because I think this speaks for itself actually.

you know we're part of a dystopian society, when the establishment wants to prevent medical professionals, doctors, from issuing sicknotes

totalitarianism is here, coming in hard & fast.

this is not a real democracy. we see them, with their authoritarian tendencies, their corruption, their oligarch ties and interests, their lack of accountability, their undermining of the law, their erosion of our civil liberties, but most of all, they have lost public trust.

[the-real-daddy-van-der-bellen]

btw life hack that no one will tell you about: if you need a Krankmeldung in Austria, a PVZ will likely just give you one via call. At least mine does, might depend. You don't even need to live all that close to the PVZ they are supposed to have a large Einzugsgebiet!!

And they might say that while it is possible to write the sicknote without you being there in person, you still gotta come there and pick it up, unfortunately they can't just e-mail it to you.

BUT if you log in with ID Austria on meinesv.at you can just download it there and send it to your HR.

Germany: "The number of sicknotes is too damn high! We need to do something!" *number of some of the most idiotic suggestions ever* Me, with neckpain bad enough that it turns into a headache and barely lets me move my neck: *puts rheumatic bandaid on, swallows painkiller, goes to work*

I Want Your Soul [sicknote]

[beeseverywhen]

Another week, another phantom menace for Rishi Sunak. The people he is talking about, regarding his benefit reforms, do not exist. The 1.35 million people who could work but just don’t want to, who have a label of depression or anxiety but are just a little bit sad, who could have their benefits replaced by vouchers and find that incentivising: these people do not exist.

People are not signed off work because we are all a little bit more comfortable talking about our moods. People are not on disability benefits because Prince Harry did a podcast. We don’t have a “sicknote culture” because it’s too easy to get a sicknote. The pressure on GPs will not be lifted by parcelling out sicknotes to private contractors. Those with depression and anxiety severe enough to claim a personal independence payment (Pip) are catastrophically unwell. If numbers have surged over the past 14 years, which they have, it is because Conservative governments make you catastrophically unwell.

Pushback on this new narrative of cruelty has so far been pathetic: at the most, you might hear a minister challenged on the scarcity of NHS mental health provision. All that is true: child and adolescent mental health services in particular are now so poor as to be almost nonexistent. There are areas of the country where a child can wait so long for help that by the time it arrives, four years later, they are no longer a child. In a grim, idiotic irony that is the trademark of a government that marries callousness to incompetence, the more severe your illness, the more labyrinthine and inaccessible the treatment: hospital trusts might meet the referral targets for psychotic episodes, but most then fail to meet the standard for providing treatment. Waiting times for severe mental illness besides psychosis aren’t recorded and people describe it as endless limbo.

But the problem starts further up the pipeline: our mental health is worse because our general health is worse. “Britain is objectively sicker than it was a decade ago,” the epidemiologist Michael Marmot wrote in January. Poverty is driving down life expectancy and driving up infant mortality – and, along the way, it’s destroying people’s sanity. Being chronically hungry – as the UN rapporteur noted in November, with some horror, that many people are in Britain – harms your state of mind, as does not being able to feed your children.

Debt, precarious housing, low wages, punitive benefit sanctions – any one of these factors might reasonably cause a person to fear for their existence. Successive Conservative governments have driven a large number of people to despair and now they want to engage us in a conversation about snowflakes. We shouldn’t dignify it.

If the premise is built on an untruth, it is not surprising that no single point is true, either. Mel Stride, the work and pensions secretary, is calling these ideas the “biggest welfare reforms in a generation”, but 14 years is much less than a generation and, in this time, welfare has been reformed significantly. Universal credit, introduced 11 years ago, was never benchmarked to a meaningful assessment of need, with the result that 90% of households claiming it, as of last summer, are unable to afford the essentials.

If that was the intention – to move low-income families on to the breadline – that is hands down the most successful reform the Tories have enacted. Pip, the benefit these reforms are coming for, was itself a reform of the disability living allowance. It is known for assessment criteria so harsh and nonsensical that, if anxiety isn’t one of your symptoms at the start of it, it generally is by the end.

The whole wheeze is underpinned by the fact that Sunak doesn’t have time to make meaningful changes to anything. Maybe he thinks he is laying a trap for Labour. Maybe he thinks the injection of fresh cruelty will boost his support in the local elections. If there is anything more disgusting than the sight of a half-billionaire rolling up his sleeves for a “benefits crackdown” in the middle of a cost of living crisis, the realities of which he wouldn’t be able to imagine even if it occurred to him to try, I can’t think of it.

[bulldogblues]

So our ~brilliant~ UK government insists that they want to prioritise getting long term sick and disabled people into work and will cut off benefits to that end... while simulatenously refusing to provide ANY meaningful support that might allow some of them to do this.

Why don't you just come out and say 'we don't like disabled people existing?'

August Bank Holiday Monday! Run and hide!

Work belatedly tried to drag me in for an overtime shift after some sicknote decided not to turn up - way too late, I was already into the Thatcher's Haze while engaged in maintenance jobs...

Washing and reproofing work/cycling shell jackets; disinfecting stinky helmet padding; waxing the old Scarpa boots; spraying selected clothing items with Permethrin in readiness for the Highlands; swapping round stems and bars on the Lava Dome commuter and ongoing monstercross project...

Batch cooking this evening, then I can emerge from enforced isolation tomorrow once the madness has subsided.
