If you have been medically certified by a doctor as unfit to work for more than 7 days, you can claim £35 per day. 

You can claim payments from day 8 of your illness, but you will be paid for up to 15 days in total - the first 7 days are also included in your payment. 

In order to receive earnings support, you will need to submit proof that you have been medically certified by a doctor as unfit to work. The "fit note" from your doctor will need to specify the start and end date of your illness, so it's important you check this is correct.
