4. DEFINITIONS OF ILL HEALTH RETIREMENT22lenout wrote:My consultant thinks that once I have had either spine injections or an operation I will, after an amount of recovery time, be able to work full-time hours, but not necessarily a job involving 4 hours on delivery carrying heavy weights. I was led to believe that I could only get IHR with full pension if my condition was going to be permanent and I would be unable to work for another employer in the future after leaving RM. Have I understood the differences between the 2 IHR options correctly.
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.
Hope this is useful ?
