Accruing holiday while off sick

    I need some advice. I was off work sick for a year, I returned back to work in early August last year. I know legislation was brought in regarding this matter in 2015.

    Statutory annual leave entitlement accrues during a period of certified sick leave.
    An annual leave carryover period of 15 months after a leave year will apply to those employees who could not, due to illness, take annual leave during the relevant leave year or during the normal carryover period of 6 months.
    On termination of employment, payment in lieu of untaken accrued annual leave will apply to leave which was untaken as a result of illness in circumstances where the employee leaves the employment within a period of 15 months following the end of the leave year during which the statutory leave entitlement accrued.

    So my questions are:

    Does this 15 months start from when I returned to work, meaning I have to have the days used up by early November?

    Can my employer force me to take them all in one go?

    Is it ok to bring this up with my employer now or should this have all been sorted when I returned to work? I only found out about it in the last few weeks.
