Ill Health Retirement Assessments

Ill Health Retirement (also called medical retirement) is when a person retires earlier than the normal retirement age because a physical health/mental health condition or disability results in them being permanently unable to continue attending work.

Workplace Occupational Health specialises in delivering clear, objective, and thorough assessments to support ill-health retirement applications. Our services are tailored to meet the specific needs of a pension scheme, providing independent, expert guidance.

We collect and analyse all relevant medical documentation – including GP and specialist reports – to build a comprehensive understanding of the employee’s health status.

We conduct face-to-face or virtual consultations with an Occupational Health Physician to confirm medical history, assess physical and cognitive capabilities, and explore any workplace-related factors affecting the employee’s ability to work.

Our reports are clear, structured, and tailored to the requirements of your pension scheme. Each report includes:

• A summary of relevant medical findings
• An assessment of current and future work capacity
• A clear explanation of the medical opinion provided
