Your Path to a Peaceful Retirement

When applying for ill health retirement, your pension scheme will likely have specific medical criteria to determine eligibility. These criteria are designed to ensure that the retirement is due to a genuine health condition that prevents you from continuing your work.

Our private clinic specialises in providing comprehensive occupational health assessments that meet the stringent requirements of various pension schemes. Our experienced medical professionals are well-versed in the latest medical guidelines and can provide accurate and impartial assessments.

Points to Consider Before Making an Application

Before applying for ill-health retirement, it's essential to gather the necessary information and documentation. This may include:

• Medical Records: Collect any relevant medical reports, test results, and treatment plans.
• Work History: Prepare a detailed account of your work duties, any accommodations that have been made, and the impact of your health condition on your ability to perform your job.
• Pension Scheme Rules: Review the specific medical criteria and eligibility requirements of your pension scheme.

Our Ill Health Retirement Medical Assessments

Our occupational health experts will first need to establish that the qualifying conditions have been met. We appreciate that these assessments can often lead to difficult and sometimes upsetting conversations regarding your medical history and diagnosed condition, and the subject will be broached with care and compassion.

• Physical or Mental Impairment: This includes conditions that significantly limit your ability to perform your job duties
• Chronic Illness: Long-term conditions that have a severe impact on your health and well-being

Your pension scheme may also come with its own specific criteria for ill-health retirement. We can help you understand the terms of your eligibility and assess if you meet the requirements.

Common factors that are considered include:

• Severity: The impact of your health condition on your daily life and ability to work
• Prognosis: The likelihood of improvement or deterioration in your condition
