AW33 Application for Consideration for Ill Health Retirement for Active Members

As such, there may be the need to request an extension of time in order to offer the appeal the best chance of success. However, if you are in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you must complete form DRP1 within 1 month of the original decision. As the ‘burden of proof’ rests on the appellant it is your responsibility to gather all the evidence you consider (or are advised) is necessary to mount an appeal.

Detailed Report

Provided you can provide medical evidence to support your claim, you can apply for Tier 2 benefits within three years of retirement. If you are happy with the decision, you must then complete the AW8 ‘Claim for pension benefits’ form to claim your pension benefits on the grounds of ill health. Each stage ensures that the applicant’s case is robustly supported by medical evidence and employment impact details.

If your application for ill health benefits is approved, you will then need to submit the retirement benefits claim form (AW8) to PCSE via the Contact Us form. Second stage appeals are handled by a scheme manager and, once again, additional medical evidence is considered by a different medical adviser to the one previously involved in earlier decisions. First stage appeals are handled by the disputes officer, and additional medical evidence is considered by a different medical officer to the one who made the initial decision.

Your pension will be paid into your bank account monthly on a regular date specified by the Paymaster (in England and Wales). An initial decision can be made in four weeks but may take longer. If any doubt is expressed, the application will be refused or deferred. Contact us if your employer intends to terminate your contract. Ideally, the possibility of an IHR application should be discussed in absence management meetings. Please contact us  if your employer intends to terminate your contract.

Try to negotiate/agree that notice is not served until the initial pension decision is received. More employers now seek to serve notice of termination of contract at the same time as the IHR application is put forward. Your medical evidence should clearly say that your condition is permanent and that appropriate treatment options have been explored. See the Country-specific links section below for the relevant guidance and forms for each country,

Members must provide detailed personal information, medical reports supporting their health condition, and relevant employment details. The “Ill health-AW33E” form is a crucial document used primarily for applying for ill health retirement benefits within the NHS, allowing members to access their pension early due to health conditions. Ill health retirement and serious ill health retirement formsWhat can I do if my ill health application has been rejected? This time limit may place additional pressure on you as there is almost always a need to submit additional/new medical evidence with an appeal.

You aw33 register may also want to consult your Total Reward/Annual Benefit Statement to check your pension value. We recommend that you obtain an estimate of your pension based on IHR from your pension provider or your employer.

Legally Required Submissions

  • You may also want to consult your Total Reward/Annual Benefit Statement to check your pension value.
  • (See the Country-specific links section below for the relevant guidance for each country.)
  • In exceptional circumstances it is possible to request a medical examination, but this is rarely granted.
  • However, you might feel you need an estimate prior to embarking on the formal process, in order to assess your financial situation.
  • If you are dismissed for any reason other than your health, such as for misconduct, you may not be entitled to IHR benefits.

(Please see the Country-specific links section below for links to the relevant forms for each country.) Your GP will need to complete the medical section of your application form. This claim can be made at the same time as your IHR application.

You can return to work in the NHS following early or ill-health retirement, however, if you are receiving an NHS pension you will need to bear in mind the income restrictions for future NHS employment. A second stage appeal must be submitted using form DRP2 within six months of receiving the decision on the first stage appeal. Note that it is no longer possible to request payment of an actuarially reduced early retirement pension when appealing Tier 1 decisions. If you are no longer in NHS service but want to apply for an ill-health pension, you can apply directly to the relevant NHS pensions agency. If you have provided sufficient medical evidence, this will happen automatically and you will automatically be awarded a Tier 2 pension. Once the pensions agency has received the AW8 form, it will usually take approximately 8-12 weeks before you will receive your pension.

It cannot be paid until your contract has been terminated, and will be backdated to your termination date or date of application (whichever is later). You should not rely on evidence being provided only by your GP, as the scheme’s medical advisers are unlikely to accept this as sufficiently robust evidence of permanent incapacity for work. This is not a claim for your pension, but a request to see what you would be granted if you were to go on to make a claim.
