Can someone in the know help me out. I've been on Jobseekers for 9 months, now I'm on income based jobseekers due to having saved up too much for my old age (I'm 58 and worked all my life). I'm having a operation which could put me on sick leave for 2 to 3 weeks. Can I get any sick leave money from dwp if I come off jobseekers for this period. If I can't I may as well keep signing on as I can get to the jobcentre, just got to be carefull what I do and plenty of rest. I don't relish the thought of hanging on the phone for half hour plus then having a 45 minute question session for no monetary gain if I come off jobseekers for only a short while. Thanks for any help.
