Hi @JaneWin welcome to the forum. Sorry to read that you are going through ill health retirement
I went through it a few years back.
You may have to claim benefits depending on your circumstances. -
Great to have you with us @JaneWin!
I've not been in your situation but I imagine it's normal to feel a uncertain or overwhelmed about what the future holds and you're certainly not alone in feeling worried.
If you ever need someone to talk to or have specific questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. The Coffee Lounge is a great place to start.
