Get sick pay from your employer

You can get sick pay for up to 28 weeks if you're too unwell to go to work.

If you're ill you can be paid Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) whether you're in work or not.

Money Advice Service has a guide on the benefits and entitlements you might be able to claim if you've recently become sick or disabled.
