Hi. Can anyone recommend a solicitor to look at my case and support me with deciding if it’s worth pursuing ill health retirement with my LGPS.

Hi Rose

Your question is outside the scope of this forum, but I am posting it to see if any member has any information for you. We won't be able to judge the value of the advice.

Hi, Just wondering if you are a trade union member? If so try contacting them as they may be able to help. Unison negotiated a decent ill health departure settlement for someone I know of who was being bullied at work in a health setting due to their own ill health. Albeit that wasn't a pension issue but their solicitors also dealt with a non work personal injury claim successfully for one of my family, based on my membership!

Hi Rose,
I agree with Denby, a trade union adviser could be the answer here.
You might wish to seek advice from a qualified pensions adviser.
I woukd try this link from gov.uk which gives more ideas.
www.gov.uk/plan-retirement-income/get-financial-advice

You need to make sure that you don't lose money. If you have the option of a lump sum now, this might affect the amount of ongoing payments.

I hope this helps.
Wishing you a happy Christmas.
