Ill health retirement

[dodgyinlaws]

Coming upto 60, arthritis in my feet, consultant told me to look for another job, would i get ihr? and if so what sort of pay off would i get, 31 years service on delivery

Length of service doesn't count for IHR. For a full timer it's about £21K total.

How would it affect my pensions if got ihr before 60

There are so many pension schemes now it's hard to say. The 60 scheme was closed in 2008 so as long as you wait till 60 to take it then it won't be affected. Probably the same for the 65 scheme up till 2018. If you take them early there's usually a 5% reduction for each year you take them early. RM will stop paying into your pensions when you leave. Ask on the pensions forum here and you will probably get an answer from RobertT who is more knowledgable than me.

I Didn't have any time off sick, told them I was struggling to complete delivery with arthritis in my hand, had x Ray results and wanted to finish, was sorted and paid in around 2 weeks.
