I need information, can I stop working for medical reasons?

I have back pain that causes pain in the foot that prevents me from moving and I can only walk with the help of a stick or a wheelchair, and my question is if it stops working, what are the destinations that I must inform and who determines whether I can work or not

I hope this answers your question
The option is to discuss medical dismissal with your company if you and they think you are no longer fir for your role, they should have a policy on this.
If you give up work voluntarily this could affect your entitlement to any benefits you can claim in the future
Your PIP is not affected by any of this and will continue as long as yuou have an award regardless of if you are working or not
