Statutory Sick Pay and Working Tax Credit

Morning All.
I have currently been off work since 18th December 2013 and receive just statutory sick pay which means I will receive less than £400 per month compared to my usual £1200. I am also in receipt of Working Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit. I have been signed off work for a further 3 weeks so will have been off for a total of 9 weeks and 5 days. Am I entitled to apply for an increase in Working Tax Credit because of my drop in income or anything else I may be entitled too? The next two months wage packets will make things a massive struggle. I do not receive any housing benefit or council tax benefit.
I have tried the government websites with no luck or answers!
Many thanks for any advice!!
cheers
