Im currently submitting my cert weekly, and if i travel,im gonna miss 2 of these certs.

Can the doctor write me a cert that is valid longer, or how this works?
Or is it allowed to travel abroad at all, when receiving illness benefit?
Im fit to travel, but cant work at the moment due the operation i had 2 months ago for chronical disease, and currently waiting to get bed for my 2nd operation within few months.
