And AFAIK you don't pay tax on the amount, only the holiday pay entitlement.

Do you have to be in the Pension scheme to get that?
Or is everyone entitled to it?

Not taxed but I hope you have another job lined up?
Why? Because if you try and claim benefits you will have to deal with Atos again and even if they have found you medically unfit for Royal Mail they will find you fit enough to do other work and make you go on Jobseekers. :roll:

Does anybody know whether the 34 weeks pay is based on your present salary or on an average of your last few months pay? i.e. When the delivery supplement comes in, will you immediately be entitled to 34 weeks at that rate of pay?

It`s based on your grades present salary and NOT an average,also it`s based on what your pay is on the date of retirement,so if the supplement comes in and then your granted ill health after this, you will be paid based on that scenario.
