I recently returned to work, having been on Incapacity Benefit for
some time. I was told that should my illness return within 52-weeks,
rendering me incapable of continuing the job, my benefit claim would
be reactivated.
My illness sadly has returned. Two questions concern me:
1. Do I need to get a sicknote and wait to be sacked by my employer
for being unfit to work, or can I get a sicknote and hand in my
month's notice without being penalised?
2. Will Incapacity Benefit be paid at my old long-term rate, or at the
short-term one?
Clarification of these points would be very greatly appreciated.
