Sorry just got back from doctors yesterday was a bit angry, He said i was not down for depression on the computer i said to him why are you giving me anti-depression tablets (Fluoxetine) if im not down as suffering from depression, he did not answer me

I was confused about that as well. When you say the doctor won't give you a certificate do you mean sick note for work?

Please clarify.

See your psychologist and get a letter. I see mine fortnightly and they fill in all my forms, sort out my finances, claims etc.

Yeah if you have been turned down for back problems you can't claim it again for 6 months unless it has become significantly worse. But you can claim for a new illness. So try claiming for MRSA. Good luck
