Any Statutory Sick Pay is also linked if under 8 weeks apart.

  2. Welfare to work rules:If you start work or training after being on incapacity related benefits for over 28 weeks then this rule allows you to return to your previous incapacity related benefit if you fall sick again within 104 weeks or two years of starting work. This applies to Incapacity Benefit, Severe Disablement Allowance and the disability premium within Income Support, HB & CTB.The above rule applies to Employment Support Allowance as well but you only need to have been on this for 13 weeks or more to benefit from this 104 week linking rule
