Yes, unfortunately. Sick pay is paid at full rate for six months and then half pay for six months in any rolling four year period.

This is normal, as you are allowed only 6 months sick at full pay and 6 months sick at half pay in any 4 year period.
Perhaps see if there are any benefits you could be entitled to claim in the mean time.
