    I have been recently notified that I have been granted invalidity pension which is excellent news.

    I am currently getting illness benefit and I was due to obtain another certificate on Thursday this week. Do I still need to attend the doctor and obtain a cert?

    Do they automatically close the IB claim or do I have to do anything?

    dont do anything but keep sending in the certs till your IP is in the bank/PO. Congrats, its hard to get IP now.

    mrs byrne is correct. Once the IP comes into payment there is no need to submit further medical certs. Your cover letter will have stated this.
