I’m still confused if it means people on mtx and biologics, and I take it if you have one of these letters then that is proof to yr employer as no sick notes r being given out .

If you look on here, you can use this.

But that’s just if u have it or have symptoms , what about the people who are being told to stay at home by the government

I asked my gp to sign me off. That was about 8 days ago and he signed me off for 4 weeks. As I work in a school, it turns out I would have been sent home during the next week anyway. Try your gp on Monday.

I will do thanks maybe this letter if we have one will clarify a few things , I was told on Friday I was high risk and was going to be given a letter next week

[Moomin8 in reply to Buckybri]

Let me know how you get on. I'm sure you'll be fine.

Yes, still not clear. “people on immunosuppression therapies sufficient to significantly increase risk of infection” could include us, or could not.....

Lets see who gets letters!!

[cass24 in reply to helixhelix]

Yes that is the only one of the categories which I feel might apply to me, and I have a hunch that Mtx alone may not be considered in the most at risk category (though I'm not personally taking any more risks than absolutely necessary anyway).

Shall await to see if I get a letter

[Buckybri in reply to cass24]

Yes I agree I think mtx and biologics maybe different . When I was told I was high risk I asked was that because of the meds or the condition she told me both .
