Hi, my name is Catwoman2! Any words of wisdom for starting ill health retirement process?

Catwoman2

hello everyone I’m new to this forum.

I’m applying for medical retirement. Because I am struggling to work full-time. I don't know whether it is best to voluntarily reduce my hours to show I cannot work more than 30 hours or be sick for some of the day to support my well-being. Preventing a decline that I will struggle to get out from.

I have a meeting with my boss tomorrow and a meeting with OH to start the process this week.

My job is very unusual and I won’t be able to do that job for any other organisation.

Any words of wisdom much appreciated.

Hi @Catwoman2 welcome to the forum. Sorry you've not had a response yet. How did the meeting with your boss go? Hopefully you were able to talk through options and they've given you plenty of support so you can make the best decision for you. 💛
