Civil service upper tier pension

William01

HI all hope we are well. I'm just wondering I worked in the civil service, Years of depression, anxiety and undiagnosed autism with work place bullying effected me badly. Anyway the first application process to get it was so so difficult but I finally got upper tier Alpha. I'm due review at end of year or start of next year. With the benefit reforms coming I guess I'm extra worried about it. The template form of the review process seems non invasive nothing like the first time round which i found very stressful. Has anyone here been through it? can I ask and how did you find it? Was your form non invasive with your GP just reconfirming conditions and not writing much? Did yours go through OK or did they look for more complex information before making a decision. Any comeback would be great, as I say with the changes to welfare coming I feel so worried 😔

I'm talking here about ill health retirement being granted to me on an upper tier award with reviews every 5 years which I'm very worried about.
