Incapacity benefit? Increase in tax credits?

Your CAB or Advice Shop should be able to help you.

As far as I know, you can claim sickness benefit, and if the sickness is long-term then you go on to incapacity benefit, for which your illness will need to be assessed by the DSS doctors.

They have to pay you Statutory Sick Pay for 26 weeks - I'm not sure what the amount is, but it's not very much, and your employer can claim it back from teh govt.

You won't get it on top of your half pay. SSP comes into force when you stop being paid sick pay from your company so IIRC, you are getting five weeks full pay, five weeks half and than onto SSP which as someone else said is not much - I THINK something under 70 pounds a week.
