soory your post is a bit hard to read...

From the general gist you could contact acas or the crb - see bottom of this useful page for links.

i pay national insurance contributions due to the fact i earn 88.16 a week i have low earnings

i dont pay national insurance due to earning 88.16 a week

The Lower Earnings Level for National Insurance is £87.00 per week so you should be paying NI and you should get Statutory Sick Pay if you are sick for 4 or more days in a row.

Are you sure your figures are correct? Can you check back on your payslips? You do have to have been earning over this amount during a qualifying period.

An SSP form is a form explaining why you can't get sick pay. It explains how to claim Incapacity Benefit instead if you are entitled to it or how to appeal against the decision if you disagree with it.
