Ssp part time worker

Hope this is right board and someone can advise. My daughter works wed & sat each week earning enough to claim ssp. Last worked wed 18th Dec doctor signed her off for 2 wks on fri 20th Dec gave sick note to employer that evening. Dr issued another note today 3rd Jan for a further two weeks. She has received £43 today ssp - is this all she will receive also for the next two weeks?
Are the 3 qualifying days out of the first 2 week period of her illness calculated as being the Sat/Wed/Sat that she didn't work? Any advice appreciated.

    Yes she will only get SSP for the says she actually works.

    So for 5 days she’s get full SSP at £86.70

    Has she been paid £43.35?

    This would them be 2.5 days SSP

    Shes not worked 4 days up till now and 5 if we include tomorrow?

    5 days less 3 waiting days is SPP for 2 days so they have probably overpaid her a bit there.

    Depending on when pay day is then she will get some more SSPon the next pay if the sick/fit note covers her for this time

    Would she normally have worked on Xmas Day? That's was a Wednesday?
