Yes I was on incapacity benefit last year after I bust my ankle and I was temping so didn't get sick pay. You should get housing benefit too, although I didn't - you must badger them for everything you can get because 52 quid a week hardly helps at all!
Hope you have a speedy recovery.

Yes, you will be entitled to sickness benefit but try for invalidity benefit as well.
Sick pay from work will depend on your terms of contract.

You won't get any befits but you will get full pay as you are allowed 6 months off with injury. They can however ask you to do and occupational test when you get back...but you should get full pay

yes, but it's pennies. It's called statutory sick pay. But it also depends what line of work you are in, or how kind your employer is
