medically retired

Post by drifter4300 »

Hi, my name is Debs and i was medically retired from Royal Mail in Dec 2006 at the age of 41. I loved working for the company until i was involved in a armed robbery, it made me a bag of nerves and also did an ID at the Police station, which was positive as his face will be imprinted forever, he got 10 years and i never got a thank you or nothing, in the end i was med retired and 6 years on i was wondering if i would be able to draw off my pension due to the curcumstances?

Blimey,sorry to hear of your troubles.
Will move this to the pension forum,although all advice given is unofficial.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

The answer is No. You will have to wait until at least 55 under the current legislation .
