from MOD into Carillionamey and then into Amey.
I have been off unwell now for 7 months and have only seen or heard from my manager on three occasions. It appears that Amey use a private medical company MEDIGOLD and although I have authorised the release of medical info they are dragging their heels in doing so. This is having a negative impact on my mental health issues.
Sounds like it's going to be a long drawn out affair like my retirement !!
Have you got a welfare officer and union rep, both were very helpful for me and tried to keep the management on their toes.
During the 2 year process they actually asked me if I wanted to resign instead.
They even hinted about a possible redundancy as well.
I stuck it out for my pension.
I left things between my union rep, welfare officer and staff section, I just turned up when required for meetings or medicals.
I dread to think how long it will take seems to me all they are interested in is hitting targets.
Most people who I've met over the years who took medical retirement have said it's taken between one and two years from start to finish.
