Hi welcome to the community my name is Jaide and I'm not up to date about the benefits side of things but you will find the right support in this community.

Hi @bezzieboy - & welcome to the community. Unfortunately Statutory Sick pay is something an employer pays an employee, so not relevant in your case. As you're over state pension age I'm afraid there are no other benefits available either.
