Hiya and welcome.
As I too worked for LA & was retired due to illhealth in 1999, but without an occupational health pension, I hope you managed to get a OHP in place before being retired. If you have not I suggest if it is not too late, please contact HR at your LA to see what can be done.
Then go to your Welfare Officer/CAB Representative & ask them to asssist you in filling out the forms etc when they arrive & they will help you thru the mire of benefits. This initial call is common to assess whether or not it is you etc and can be used for/against you in anyrhing they say or do.
