I am also UK based but what's the harm in asking would be my first thought?
Over here there are some jobs where it would be at managers discretion and contracts all have loopholes and whatnot so the only sure fire way of knowing is asking your boss. I know it's scary, and it might feel 'wrong' - but it is your right to take care of your mental health every bit as much as your physical health. Biting the bullet might be terribly difficult but once it's done you will know where you stand. It is important that you don't sacrifice your mental health for a job in which you may then potentially not cope so well with if your mental health were to deteriorate.
Good luck and keep us updated x

	Save me, O God! The water is up to my neck; 2 I am sinking in deep mud, and there is no solid ground; I am out in deep water, and the waves are about to drown me. 3 I am worn out from calling for help, *and my throat is aching.* I have strained my eyes, looking for your help.
