ill health retirement

[Enigma54]

Has anyone been through this process recently? How long did it take? I’ve been off work for 8 months now
( cancer and treatment). I work as support staff in a school.

I have no end date to treatment and the current regime isn’t working anyway.

I’m having regular meetings with my Head and there is a meeting scheduled for the end of this term, with my union rep and HR, where they will want an update.

I’m considering requesting IHR in the new year.

My union rep didn’t call yesterday.
Hopefully I can get this mess sorted by the end of the academic year. It’s stressing me out a bit now!

I got ill health from teaching in2021.

49% of applicants get it. The main reason for not getting it is insufficient evidence.
