That would depend on your condition and what the Docs are saying.


4.1 “Retirement on ill health grounds with immediate pension” means the cessation of employment as a result of serious physical or mental ill health (not simply a decline in energy or ability) such that, in the opinion of Royal Mail Group or associated employer the member is permanently incapable of:

a) carrying out his current duties;

b) carrying out such other duties for the employer as the employer might reasonably expect the member to perform; and

c) engaging in employment with any other employer of a type which, in the opinion of his present employer, would be reasonable and appropriate for the member.

my condition is permanent the atos doctor has said lump sum but he then said i could appeal for my pension

[fishtank]

The main difference in the description are "foreseeable future" against "permanently incapable".


Permanent incapacity shall mean until normal retirement age or for at least 10 years from the date of medical opinion, whichever is the sooner.

Foreseeable future shall mean a period of at least 9 months from the date of medical opinion.

If you are appealing you will have to show that you fall into the permanent category.
The fact that your condition is permanent doesn't automatically mean that you will.
You will have to show that the impact your condition has on your day to day life,especially work life is unlikely to improve even with treatment.
