NIL or Statutory Sick Pay by the government assuming you will get a doctor to sign you off for that long.

Entitlement

During absence from work due to sickness or injury, full- and part-time non-managerial employees recruited on or after 3 June 2002 will receive:

During the first twelve months of service, statutory sick pay only

After twelve months' service, full rate sick pay for the first six months (26 weeks) of any spell of absence, followed by half rate sick pay

Full rate sick pay will not be paid in total for more than 6 months (26 weeks) during any calendar year. Further periods will be paid at half rate, but no sick pay (other than at pension rate where applicable) will be paid when the employee has been absent for a total of 12 months (with or without pay) in any period of four years

If entitlement to full and half rate sick pay has been exhausted, employees who are contributing members of the Royal Mail Pension Plan will be paid at a rate equivalent to the highest rate of pension they would be eligible to receive if dismissed on ill health grounds, or at sick pay at half rate if lower
