The legal status of the Med 3 is simply ''for statutory sick pay purposes only'' as indicated at the top of the document. This goes for Med 5 as well. Check if HR people note the difference -one is been seen by gp and one is take-away version of sick note typically ordered by phone or drive-thru!!

Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] Med3 for SSP only
Morning all
Would anyone have a statement or reference to hand for the legal purpose of
the Med3 that i can include in a document for one of the HR teams i'm
liaising with at the moment?
I've got the DWP document from the archives (DWP 2004: Medical Evidence for
Statutory Sick Pay, Statutory Maternity Pay and Social Security Incapacity
Benefit purposes) but am looking for a nice statement about it - i used to
lift one from an article in OH years ago but can't find my hardcopy of the
article.
Any help gratefully received as always
Carr
