I got a call back from the Benefits Office this morning. Apparently it is the three month thing that's the problem - I had thought it might be, because the dates are pretty exact, 23rd June to 21st September. Apparently within the first 6 months of your claim you can't get an 'Indefinite' medical certificate. Which means I don't know if I can get one when I next go to the doctor's, but since I'm guessing I won't win my appeal, that probably won't be a problem. I'd say that I wish they'd said something about the whole thing when I first started claiming, so I had some warning, but the fact is they gave me so much stuff at the time, some of which I didn't read, that chances are they did and I just didn't notice it.

In any case, I've got the doctor's appointment all set up anyway, so all I have to do now is go to it (at 9.40am), and hope the doctor doesn't have a problem with doing something she was basically trying to do anyway. Fingers crossed. And then send it off and hope it all goes through before Connotations. Sigh.
