Outside of the public/civil service you may be entitled to apply for work after being retired on grounds of ill health. This could affect any social welfare awards to you. Your new employer would have to be informed of your situation too.Thanks Leper, my job unfortunately does not facilitate changes like that for hours or job movement. So technically I can't do my current job again
But what in the future I was able to say work in am office for a day or a coffee shop for interaction, purpose and a few quid .. can I ever ?
I do not have the advice you seek, but just to say I would also feel how you feel. I have neck, back and eye issues and need to cop on with my approach to work as I am 50 but have to work until 65. I write this because mentally 'my work role' often feels like my life. Without this work, I have limited interactions that I enjoy. I am Neurodiverse so maybe that accounts for my 'thinking'. I also have no children / partner so know I need to be responsible for myself.Many many thanks for the replies. The operation is so serious I just can't do a uniformed position again. I'll health retirement is the likely outcome but in the hope of better mobility and recovery I would love to think I could take up a new job somewhere down the road...firstly I wasn't sure if I was allowed. I thought I might lose any SW but not pension pay ... regardless I guess I was unhappy at closing the employment door forever ... too young !
