    Hi,

    If you haven't already done so please look at this…https://www.civilservicepensionscheme.org.uk/your-pension/work-life/illness-and-injury/ill-health-retirement/

    If link doesn’t work then just type in civil service I’ll health retirement and it will take you to what I recommend reading over (several times!)

    I was successful early this year at IHR from the civil service so feel free to ask questions

    Is there something you are particularly needing to know?
