IF a full timer was to finish on ill health with his knees what would he get £ wise including his shares and how would it be paid lump sum or would his time off in sick be took into consideration then it be deducted , also who should he go to outside of the R/M for help in benefits and retraining for new job , does the job centre deal with all this or does he have to find a local dhss office any help would be great full ,I myself can't see R/M finding jobs for people struggling with ill health but should they be doing this for them thanks

IHR = 34 weeks pay plus up to 12 weeks pilon. The current value of the shares would be about £3,250.

would his time off in sick be took into consideration then it be deducted

Not as far as i know.

who should he go to outside of the R/M for help in benefits and retraining for new job , does the job centre deal with all this or does he have to find a local dhss office any help would be great full

The local CAB could help with benefits or try this:

or this:

As for a new job, just the normal places: job centre, papers, websites, word of mouth, etc.

I myself can't see R/M finding jobs for people struggling with ill health but should they be doing this for them thanks

I don't really see why they should to be honest.

According to what Ive read in the New Agreement, they "should" try to adapt your role, alter the procedure and/or offer another job with your or another facility.
But, obviously, if the illness/injury is not going to improve, then ANYTHING they offer would be waste of time, effort, money etc.

I was retired. My ATOS report said I was classed as disabled under the equalities act. I have now applied for PIP. And guess who decides? Yep ATOS.

I shall be taking my letter stating why I was retired from my job. If ATOS suddenly decide I am not disabled despite my injuries not improving then I shall hand all the information to my solicitor who will no doubt be asking some searching questions about ATOS.

Was assessed by NHS Dr, was told, and in writing, "You will be 15% Disabled for the rest of your life..."
Funny that the cut-off point for regular Disability payments is curtailed at 15%.
Funny that, EH????
