Advice (UK): I am being made redundant and want to get maximum sick pay out of company before the final decision is made.

So I have been given a risk of redundancy letter (it's set in stone, ignore the 'risk'). The company has been doing well recently and these cuts are completely unjustified except for trying to get others to be complete slaves (workloads others have is already enough, our responsibilities being shared among them will just be the straw that breaks the camels back) all day and optimise profits just a tiny bit. I have gone off sick for work related stress/mental health, signed off by a doctor until the end of this. Basically I have 2 weeks sick pay then up to 10 weeks at my managers discretion. They are still trying to do my redundancy consultations over the phone despite my sickness (is this allowed?), I want to delay my redundancy until I’ve been paid maximum sick pay, has anyone been through this before and knows how to navigate it?…

How I can guarentee my manager gives me sick pay for 10 weeks and delay this redundancy as long as possible? ( is there a sub this question would be better directed at?)
