I was wondering if anyone know if the sick/maternity or any benefits that u collect now from NIB will cease after NHI is introduced, e.g sick benefits if you are sick for more than 5 days and can't work. Your input on this.

No they won't.

Are those payments anything to write home about? Just a question.

Not really. If you are sick I think they give you half your salary for a certain period of time. I think maternity must be similar (never been pregnant to know). I claimed once when I got burned in an industrial accident but honestly don't remember how much it was.
