Can anyone advise on this? I honestly hadn't given it a thought til now. SSP will finish third week of September; the situation causing my stress has almost been resolved but my MH isn't 100% yet so I was going to start a phased return on 24 September. Then it finally occurred to my muddled brain whether I would be paid pro-rata during my phased return (which I can't afford so will prob end up going back sooner than I should, MH-wise).
