Need Suggestion regarding MS in IT?

Hi Everbody ,
I'd completed BE in computer in Mumbai(India) in June 2011.
Recently I left the Job (Position .Software Engineer) due to health problem so I am having 5 month experience.
Unfortunately 1 and half month i'll be resting at home.
My friend suggested me to go for MS in IT in UK so I think to go for this January.
After getting cure instead of searching job should i purse Master degree.
I need suggestion regarding it.

What would be the benifit of doing MS ?
Will this be good for my career ?
