Hi
I think normally your dr would give you a sick note and that would be to either give to your employers or to DWP in respect of benefits, if you are on job seekers allowance , as I was, you would then claim employment support allowance. Not sure of your circumstances but I think whatever they are if your dr has said come back in two weeks you would normally have a sick note for 2 weeks, my dr provides me with a monthly sick note...

Sue's right, you would normally get a sick note, you can then claim ESA, and you would get Housing Benefit to cover your rent. You might need to ask them for a sick note. I went to my docs a while back because my job was stressing me out too much, and I pretty much had to directly ask them to sign me off.
