Over 70 returning to work

Yeah, I can back up unforeseens post, I have also just had the new letter being CEV (Clinically Extremely Vulnerable) and there's no longer any shielding happening for anyone except if you live in a Tier 3 area.  It's back to business as usual with everyone returning to work in Tier 1 and 2 areas.

There's no suggestion that the OP ever needed to shield though.

It was suggested by ReThinkMoney as an option.

I live in a tier 3 area. I had a letter telling me to shield from the beginning of November.  Was told that I would be updated nearer to 2nd December. Still not heard anything yet but I think my employer may contact me soon to go back to work.

The letter you had in November is only covering the 4 week lockdown.
Guidance for Tier 3 is at

You are not advised to follow this revised shielding advice unless you receive a new shielding notification advising you to do so.

Go to work as normal if you can't work from home. No shielding yet, but you will get a letter if they decide a your area is a greater risk and CEV should shield.
