It won't affect contribution based ESA at all. Some companies with extensive sick pay schemes (mainly public sector and education!) have a clause requiring the employee to claim ESA after 26 weeks and anything they get is deducted from the sick pay.

However, holiday is paid at full rate even when on reduced / no sick pay.

However, it may well affect means tested benefits.

It is common (though not obligatory) for companies to suggest to staff who are long term sick to take some or all of their holiday once the sick pay has run out. Did this not happen?

It has got to be worth trying to get a reduced fee or free initial consultation with an employment solicitor.[/QUOTE

Although the CAB can be helpful, remember you will probably only see a volunteer with limited training.

There is a lot of money at stake here so I would try to speak to a solicitor.

Does your home insurance provide legal advice? A lot do.

Otherwise are you a member of a trade union or professional body / trade association?

Do you get a paynote every month/week, even though you are getting no pay?

Do you get bank holiday payments?

In the three and a half year after my year full pay I got both the above without asking because all employees got them, that was the sign of being still on the books for hourly paid workers (diffrent for me as I was salaried but 98% of the employee's were hourly paid).

I got both pay notes and bank holiday pay automatically, employed people normally do because pay notes etc. are part of being employed even if you are not in contract.

I should have said that my last experiance of leaving work ill was not myself but my husband in July 2009 and he did get the same contractual paynotes etc. as I did and he got his last P60 just last week.

I haven't been getting pay slips but I do get a yearly P60 showing zero earnings

OK, that should make it very hard for them to claim you are no longer employed!
