RETIREMENT ON ILL HEALTH

[swintontillidie]

Does anyone have an idea on how much you'd be offered after 38 years service I had a stroke in November and have been off sick ever since I'm contemplating returning to work however they have suggested ill health retirement.Im unsure whether I could do a walk again.However could I afford to give up my job.

I’m guessing they would offer you about a years pay if you went.

As far as I know it's a standard 34 weeks pay(tax free), plus either 9 or 12 weeks PILON(taxed) depending on service. In your case it would be 12 weeks!

If RM get their way, those terms will be reduced going forward.

Only you can answer that last bit.
If you've been with the company that long then you might have enough savings and with the ill health retirement payment manage to fund your retirement until the state pension kicks in.

34 weeks then 12 weeks pilon. plus any leave not be far off a full years wage.

It's slightly more than a years wage. A year for a full timer without overtime will probably see just under £20k put in the bank. IHR will see £21.5k put in the bank and probably a tax rebate on top.
