Permanent disablement and ill health retirement opinions

The cost to you of early retirement through ill health is increasing. At the same time decisions are increasingly more readily challenged. Trustees must ensure that they have access to professional medical expertise from an Occupational Physician for independent advice on ill health matters. The process of assessment should also be sound and robust, in case, as is the current trend, the decision is challenged.

What are the benefits to your organisation?

• Medical assessments are independent
• Complete medical confidentiality
• Clear professional advice
• Compliance with deadlines
• Efficient administration
• Reduced long term costs
• Increased productivity
