Wanted to add please have a look at benefit advice and information.
Also speak to CAB or Welfare rights. If that helps.,
One of our community might know the answer or a member of our team. I am sure they will be in touch with you as soon as possible.
Please take care

2 Months at full pay is quite good to be honest, your employer is following the rules, i dont think a company is required by law to pay any more than SSP which is about £92 per week and that will only last for 28 weeks if memory serves me.
@magunra2k is absolutely right, an an employer will pay you your contractual sick pay as agreed in your contract, after which you may go onto SSP which is £92.05 a week for up to 28 weeks, even if you were to get a long term sick note at this point from your doctor, you will not go back on to full pay as the employer has met the terms of your contractual sick pay agreement. If you are too unwell to return to work, perhaps you should look into ESA.
Have a look at these links, they will shed some light on ESA.
