I don't think It should affect either your nra60 and nra65 as both schemes are now closed to new contributions. The agreement for IHR is 34 weeks pay untaxed and 12 week lieu of notice which is taxed. That worked out at £21,500 for me, a full timer.

It's not always afoot.
It might be a knee or a hernia or ......

In my case, it's a weird as yet undiagnosed neurological condition (possibly MS, possibly something else I'm still waiting on results of tests and MRI scans etc), which I've been dealing with since July last year. I'm only 43, and up until then was pretty fit. 2019, I did my first 200km bicycle ride, now I struggle to walk the length of myself. I've only been in the job since 2014! I'll certainly miss my work chums though.

Well I wish you well my friend,yes my customers I miss terribly and always asking after me,not sure if I will go back,or want to go back see how they manage me,

Good luck robbertwhitton, with whatever you decide.

I did just over 23 years but it doesn't matter much when it comes to IHR. It's a fixed figure regardless of service.

I left in October. In my case it was Rheumatoid Arthritis which I've had for eight years. I had been talking to them about IHR for six months before the first lockdown.

After 40 years I love the rural delivery that I do,and hate having to deal with my osteoarthritis ,which soon will be fixed with hip replacement,and may be able to come back and then have my knee fixed,we all get old and your body in this job does take a bashing in repetitive ways,keeping fit is key I guess and certainly helps,

And don't forget any holidays that are due, you get paid for those. I still had over a months worth so added nicely to the overall total.

I'd been thinking the same

It should show the union and company how much of a battering OPG's body's take and if both had any sense they'd sort it out as it costs more in the long run in sickness etc but then again both aren't much good when it comes to common sense.

34 weeks pay tax free
12 weeks pay in lieu of notice which is taxed
Any outstanding annual leave which is also taxed.

Your shares you keep but will receive a letter from RM asking what you want to do with them.
