Question:
Work and illness, what should i do??
Hi, i have been ill now with severe depression for the past few years and recently its getting worse and i am feeling suicidal most of the time. I was going to start working more hours,my contracted hours are 4 and a half, and i was working about 25, but i got really depressed and couldnt go into work for a day, and my higher boss has basically demoted me down, i cant live on £20 a week,i have to pay my mum £40 a week for living at home. I am waiting to see a specialist as my doctor suspects i have got something called bipolor disorder, and i was wondering if it is wise to go on sick pay, and how much i will gwt? thanku xx

You NEED to take some time off, do it. Good luck.
Nobody can really tell you how much you'll get, by the way, without knowing your circumstances. By the sound of it, you won't have much less. You'll manage!
