UC query re sickness

If I go off work sick for 6 weeks but I get full pay from work do I still have to tell UC about this even though my money will remain the same

I'm going to say yes as it's a change of circs and you should send them a copy of your fit note.

Rationale for that is that if you end up off sick for a lot longer you'll have a peg in the ground for the Work Capability Assessment and the wait period for extra money in UC if you were found to have limited capability for work related activity.

Yes as above.

I will add you don't need to send the sick note but do report the change to health and add the dates on the nite when asked.
