My wife sais she will sort it. but just need to know the procedure please ?

Thanks

It used to be that if an employee was off sick he would bring me a sick note and I'd use that to claim his statutory sick pay back from the paye bill. That's been scrapped now and I need to cover it.

Self employed people have very little in the way of rights.

Thought it might be a good idea to replace me teeth and 1970s glasses

I have just had 4 weeks off work after a gallbladder operation,  and asked the same question. The answer is nothing.
I know that what you didn't want hear but that's reality.
If you are on benefits for low earnings though, you might get something from them.

Did an online calculation and siad I was entitled to £800 a month !      Never claimed a sausage in 40 years so all this is new to me

Not if your self employed, that's was one of the arguments for paying less National Insurance, no sick pay.

So What do Ido if I cannot work for a long while ?     Getting worried now

Nothing you can do  really

Can you not still claim statutory sick pay ? Had a knee op about 8 years ago and was signed off by doctor for two weeks. I claimed statutory sick pay - was only about £70 PW  though

Contact hmrc and enquire.
I was off work for a couple of months due to an operation some years ago. Ive forgotten what the department is that you claim with, its alot of paperwork though and wanting to know everything about you. Im sure they only do that to put people off claiming. It might take a while but they back date it to when you made the claim. So the faster your on it the better
