Was incapacity continuous through waiting period?
Waiting-period satisfaction is often decided on continuity of incapacity, not just the first sick note. Gaps between medical certificates, return-to-work days, or employer records that show attendance can defeat cover even when symptoms continued. Evidence must cover every part of the waiting period.
Purpose
Breaks in incapacity can reset the clock.
Evidence the workspace should capture
Sick notes covering full waiting period, payroll/leave register, employer absence statement, aligned medical chronology.
