Are you talking about more benefits you can claim or a second job you could do?

If you have any accrued but unused holiday allowance you can ask your employer if you could pause your SSP and be paid holiday pay instead for a week or 2 and then SSP kicks back in again at the end of the holiday period.
Don't forget you still accrue holiday while you are on sick leave.
