Civil service ill health pension, Alpha upper tier

tracej

Hi, I’m in receipt of civil service ill health pension at alpha upper tier and was told it is reviewed every five years - my five year point is next month.  Can anyone tell me what to expect, eg do I need to provide more documents, investigations etc?  I had a terrible time with my original application and finally got the pension awarded on appeal, really hoping I don’t need to go through all that again.

I am sorry you had such a bad time. I would be interested in following this conversation, as I have just been given the choice to swap to the alpha scheme following the Remedy ( McCloud) review.

Hello, I am facing this 5 yr Upper Tier review later this year aswell and I can't find any information about what it entails, would you mind letting me know how it all went and whatvit condisted of? I too only got mine on appeal, and it was really stressful!

Hi, I just wondered if your review went ahead..and what the process was like? I still haven’t made my decision on weather or not to accept the McCloud remdey.. the thought of another medical is so stressful tracej
