I am afraid that as you are in the WRAG you are already classed as having Limited Capability for Work and as such a Fit Note (which certifies LCW), will have no effect on the requirement for you to attend meetings and to participate in Work Related Activity.
If you do not attend then the Work Programme Provider will notify the DWP and I would expect your ESA to be sanctioned, a sanction will remain in place until you satisfy the requirement.
There is a guide to ESA Sanctions and how to avoid them in the Members Area. See
