Hi

I work 3 days a week for an employer and childmind 2 days. I may have to go in to hospital for an op and might be off work for a couple of weeks. Do you know if I can claim any benefit for sick for my self employement. I pay Tax through PAYE through my employer for both jobs but only pay NI for my employement not for childminding. Also I get sick pay from work. I'll ring the tax office when the op has been confirmed but wondered if anyone here knows. Thanks

You can get SSP from day 8 which may or may not be topped up to your usual wage by your employer.
