no suitable job after triplebypass

Post by suwisusansuwi »

Hiya ,
My job was a css operator not for long but I enjoyed it in fact i loved it, until last year, August I was undergoing various tests to try and find out why I kept getting Heartburn , finally at the beginning of August they found out that I needed to have a triplebypass ,I was given the procedure two weeks later, I was off work for a while then returned to work on light duties as you do , and when atos eventually allowed me to go back on nights and I helped out the other operators until we thought I was ready to go solo . Well unfortunately I found it extremely hard much more so than it was when I last worked on the machines, so my managers have enquired around other local offices looking for an inside job for me but came up with nothing,
I have always worked since I first delivered Christmas post and parcels when I was 15 as a christmas job ,I am 58 years old .
So I have been told that I am going to be medically pensioned off , what happens ?, how does it go ? how much will I get ?
I have worked for RM for almost 14 years continuous , 7 years full time then took a year out when We moved back up north waiting for transfer then 6 years part-time cos couldn`t get a fulltime,
should I find a union rep we do not have one at our office
THANKYOU :sad:

gonna leave this 1 alone 4 someone else to answer, as i'm not sure about the split in employment. Things also depend on whether u will be fit 4 other work or not. All u can do is see what atos recommend

IHR doesn't really matter about your service length, just depends on whether you get IHR with lump sum or with pension, it's something to do with being able to work again.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Together with your age and your circumstances you really should get immediate payment of your pension . You would get what your current pension would pay plus 75% of future pension too the age of 65.

it is unfortunate that you are PT because that will have cost you in the long term. That is a very important point to anyone considering reducing their hours or 'selling back' hours... If you reduce your hours by a third for example, your future pension will be reduced by the same...
