    Hi and welcome to the community 

    Are you currently off sick 

    First get referral to oh for work place assessment to see if any reasonable adjustments can be made or their recommendation for future employment 

    Get copy of company long term absence policy and medical dismissal policy and see what options are 

    Don't just resign until exored all options

    Are you in pension scheme there maybe options there depends on age and if eligibile for ill health retirement 

    Medical dismissal can sometimes come with compensation tho it isn't legal requirement 

    Acas website is good place for advice
