Sickness benefit.
Please can anyone tell me how sickness benefit works here?
I have a friend who is seriously ill and is worrying about how long she will get benefit for. She has worked and paid into the systen for at least four years.
Currently she is in her fifth month of receiving full pay but I would like to find out for her how long this will continue.
Thanks.

Worked, is that self employed or employed by company.
Fifth month of full pay. Is that full pay from her company then or are you saying she has been getting full pay sickness benefit already and you want to know how long this sickness benefit will last?

Re: Sickness benefit.
Also being employed by a company gives you far more rights to State benefits if her company pay ceases or she is forced to give up her job due to ill health.

Thanks. What sort of state benifits might she be entitled to?

Unemployment and/or sickness benefit.
Sickness benefit would depend on the nature of their illness. If it is a long term debilitating illness the severity of the illness would determine the % of benefit. Best advice is to visit the Social Security website, it is also available in english.

A friend of mine was off sick on full pay for two years. After that she either had to return to work or leave the the job.
