I’ve just been on the portal for my pension and it’s back 😀 it’s also for a lot more than I was expecting so that’s good if I can get it early and add it to the pension I already receive I should be ok. The benefits thing will probably be sorted out just in time for my pension to kick in so I’ll have to cancel it all after all that hassle.Original Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,736 Owed = £10,8948

Hope they sort the pension for you…..make sure you keep reminding them it’s early retirement through ill health and not just early retirement through chouce. At fist i didn’t mention it in phone calls then realised they were just thinking I was wanting early retirement. Once I made it clear to them it was ill health they started quoting the enhanced rates that went along with it 👍January spends - £587.586

I’ve got a whole booklet of forms to fill in, my employer has to fill some out and the occy health doctor, it’s down to the occy health doctor really because if he doesn’t agree I’m not fit for work I won’t get itmilann said:Hope they sort the pension for you…..make sure you keep reminding them it’s early retirement through ill health and not just early retirement through chouce.

I’m hoping it’s not a mistake because i can’t understand why it’s increased that much, either that or I’ve read it wrong 😀Seasidegal58 said:So pleased to read about your increased pension! This should be such a help!👍Original Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,736 Owed = £10,8942 -
