Let's see if I have got this right. You are in no fit state to work, and the
company needs to make redundancies. You think that someone else (who
presumably is fit to work) should lose their job so you can keep yours and
stay on the sick.

Whilst the company has to make objective decisions on who to make redundant,
I am sure they will stick in something objective in the decision process to
ensure that their remaining staff are the productive ones rather than the
ones who cannot work (in your case obviously through no fault of their own).

Sorry if this comes across like I'm having a pop, but whilst your
predicament is unfortunate, your employer is not a charity, it's also
presumably in financial difficulty, and choosing a non-working worker to
remain at work, over a working worker who cannot even go to work would be
daft to say the least.
