I'm sure it's 6 months full pay,6 months half pay.
Surely someone can double confirm on here.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

I think that if you have an A.O.D. and get it registered with the DWP then you get 1 years full pay.
Can anyone confirm that,or have i got that wrong.

That's right based over a 12 month period. If you have 12 months off in a 4 year period then you go down to no pay or sick pay at pension rate (depending on pension contributions).

Sort of, if they class it as an industrial injury then you get an extra 6 months full pay, which may mean you'll get 1 year full pay depending on how much absence you've had over a 4 year period..

:nana I had an accident at work,you get six months full pay, and six months half,but during the half pay period.providing it has been registered and recognised thar it was an A.O.D. you should get Incapacity bensfir too, although some changes came into effect in October, so maybe the Benefit entitlement is now different. :nana
