Would very much depend on the disability,they are seriously cracking down the DWP.

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.

So ,they might find you fit for work ,but royal mail have decided you are not ? and given a delivery postmans dilemma these days ,that its difficult to get into processing or distribution,you could injure yourself on these long walks,eg hips or achilles etc ,meaning you wouldnt be enitled to benefits or dole because youve recieved 17000 approx.
you would be forced to take your pension early.

if you are genuinely disabled and you qualify for dla (disability living allowance) you will get benefit for it no matter how much money you have in the bank. even millionaires are entitled to it if they fit the disablement requirement status.
