    Wait until your benefit ends. then go to the doctor and see if they are willing to give you a cert for a period of time. I dont mean that there is a chance that they will not give yo cert, but they can't until you present yourself at the office on that date.

    They have yellow certs in the doctors office, get one signed and they will have to be sent to the DSP weekly.

    I hope you get all the help you need....
