That will be a problem - they will ask for them. I don't know why some GP's seem to think they are not allowed to do them - if there is enough medical evidence in the records that she was unfit for work, you could try taliking to the GP and explain why its necessary.
Alternatively the DWP have a form for unfitness to work if you cannot provide a med.cert - other evidence can be used and the DM then has to make a decision using this (eg hospital records, consultant letters). The problem with this is that it is not certain a decision will go in your favour, whereas with med certs it is starighforward.
