Getting benefits

You might be able to claim benefits or get more money if you’re already getting benefits. This includes any statutory sick pay (SSP) your employer might give you.

Check what benefits you can get.

If you’re already getting benefits, check if the government has made any changes to your benefits.

If you’re off sick with coronavirus

If you’re employed and get coronavirus, you’ll get statutory sick pay (SSP) from the first day you're ill if you’re usually entitled to it.
