Expert Support for Ill-Health Retirement Assessments
Navigating the process of ill-health retirement can be complex and emotionally challenging—for both employees and employers. At Asclepius Occupational Health, our specialist team is here to provide expert medical guidance and practical support throughout the entire process. We support Employees who are in Local Government Pension Schemes (LGPS) and Teachers Pension Schemes (TPS). We can also support other Pension Schemes if appropriate.
Ill-health retirement enables employees who are unable to continue working due to a long-term health condition or disability to access their pension benefits earlier than standard retirement age. Our role is to ensure every decision is made with fairness, clarity, and medical accuracy.
How We Support Employers and Employees
We work closely with both HR teams and employees to provide a comprehensive and compassionate approach to ill-health retirement:
Medical Assessments & Reports
We carry out independent Occupational Health assessments to determine whether an Employee could meet the criteria for ill-health retirement.
Guidance Through the Process
Our team supports both employees and employers through the application process—helping to ensure that all medical evidence is gathered, presented accurately, and submitted correctly. We aim to make what can be a difficult process feel more manageable and less stressful.
