Handing in my notice after sick leave

This is a really awkward question, and I'm feeling so stressed about the whole situation, so hoping to get some advice... I've been on sick leave since June last year (had chemo June to Dec, surgery in Feb and radiotherapy March to April), and I'm now thinking about handing my notice in. My job doesn't make me happy or fulfilled, and after this whole cancer experience, I don't want to waste time being stuck in a job that I don't enjoy. But I've been on full pay all this time, and I'm really worried the company might demand some of this money back! Is this something to be worried about, do you think?

I'm feeling so guilty about quitting after being on full pay for so long. My manager left at the end of March, and I haven't spoken to or even had an email from the new manager since. I'm beginning to think they've forgotten about me!

  • Whatever you do please do not resign - that would negate any rights you have. 
    Even if you don't ever want to work for them ever again they are legally responsible for honouring whatever contractual agreements are in place. Resigning would free them of their obligations. 
    They can't recover a penny and would be embarrassed if they even attempted to do so.

    Best wishes
