    Hi and welcome 

    There is no fixed time it is up to you if you want to leave 

    However most companies have a medical dismissal process they follow so that may he the better option than leaving on your own accord and sometimes they pay a severance payment 

    You need to check out the company policy . If there is no chance of a return to work they can start the process 

    Again  You would also be better staying until any company sick pay ends 

    The start of the process is usually a referral to oh who will recommend future employment options
