Medical Retirement

[Bazile]

Is it your employer or or the pension scheme that would fund someone's medical retirement ?

Pension scheme

[Bazile]

Thanks

What are some pros / cons  of someone taking medical retirement ?

 

[Peter Pedant]

pension scheme

BUT he may find a way to be certified  as unfit for work, and stay at work, then the Employer pays ( whatever the sick pay whack is)

My father did this in er 1964 - but you know 60 y later

Depends very much on the personal circumstances, there are no black and white answers

[Peter Pedant]

being unable to work thro illness - -  not usually a choice

[Peter Pedant]

Buhzeel - yur fren' needs advice from someone who knows his pension scheme ( like his union rep) and has advised on this.

and not us well intentioned walk-ins

Sista in theatres ( operating theatres that  is!) advised someone to retire early when she shd have been signed off ill - and  the compo wasnt that  good ( hundreds)

and your fren certainly shd NOT  decide  the  issue on "who pays?"

'Depends very much on the personal circumstances, there are no black and white answers'

Thinking about things like getting life cover / insurance / loans / financial services /further employment etc
