If you're in the pension scheme then you should get sick pay at pension rate,not sure how much or for how long,also you may get SSP on top but not sure again though.
HR should know,you should get comms from them nearer the time.
Also depending on your circumstance you may be entitled to ESA...

And yes still entitled to IHR if recommended.

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.
