Hi @TERESAMCDONALD1
Welcome to the community! It may be worth looking at what benefits you could be entitled to. Another member of the community may be able to share more advice and will be in contact with you soon

Hi @TERESAMCDONALD1,
We have some useful information about sick leave on our website which might be of interest to you. Citizens Advice will also be able to help and the benefits calculator @Ami2301 links to may also be helpful.

Hi @TERESAMCDONALD1
Were you getting SSP but it has now reached the 28 weeks and now run out?
If so you contact your employer to get an SSP1 form which confirms you have used you SSP entitlement up. You then use this to apply for ESA.
I am in that same particular situation. Hope that helps
