Damn, I was found out before I got into the meeting for you, must have been the stubble, I knew I should have had a shave this morning! Haha


How did it go?

traluvie

Evening all,

Thanks for your warm wishes...
Sorry for delay in replying i have been waiting for tablets to kick in... felt like ripping my ankles and hands off earlier.. you know that kind of pain when u don't know what to do wit yaself... am just releived it wore off a bit now and is at a tolerable level...
Right back to what happened today lol..
I attended wit my union, so glad he was there to fight my corner too(toni u could have shaved beforehand lol tut tut)
Basically they have suggested that i think about ill health retirement... I have said that i am not going to think of that at the moment as i have not got a diagnosis so too early to be making such a big decision... The next meeting is scheduled for february which is with big boss who gathers all info together to either make the decision herself or refer it to the top boss who makes final decision..
Kind of feel like they striking me off way too early..
I'm not going to stress too much as the thought is quite scary.. so am just going to see..
Hope ur all ok as ok can be..
Take care
Tracy..

I'm sorry I forgot to shave.... LOL
Not sure what to think, maybe they're being over cautious and covering their backs eh? On the other hand maybe they think they have your interest I'm mind.. As you say though, no reason to stress, see how the big meeting goes eh? I'll make sure I am free of facial hair for that one....

Hi Tracey,

Sorry i missed this one..... I don't have good eyes I am afraid.

I agree with you its too soon without a diagnosis but quietly find out what they are offering you if you did go for the ill health option.

Glad you had your union guy there and fingers crossed that you get a diagnosis soon so at least you know what your dealing with. Cris x

I took VR as the package was better and an added 5 years to my pension.

Make sure your union rep gets you the best possible package as no doubt they will try and minimise it under the current economic situation but it's the rest of your life you need to look after.

I've never looked back and it certainly helped to keep Arthur at bay not having the stress of work and commuting.

Whats VR??? I am blonde lol... not sure how it all works.. i have just been told of ill health retirement.. nothing else of yet..
Appreciate your info..

I think it might be voluntary redundancy. DD

Thanks ... Not sure VR would help my longterm situation but worth speaking to union about all option available...xx

Hi Tracy

Well done so far.

Dfinitely agree that it is very early to be trying to get rid of you!! (what is it you do at work - sorry if you have said and my poor wee brain has failed to retain it!! :oops: )

The problem so often is that you get sickied off at a young age and then have the devils own job claiming ESA :roll:

When they know what is wrong and what treatment options there are THAT'S the time to look at what work decisions to make surely.

Glad you have the union in and voluntary reduncancy can be an idea if you work for the local authority or other bigger companies.

Good luck

Love

Toni xx

I'm a housekeeper at my local hospital.. with the lovely nhs...
I will def speak to my union about different options... but i'm not rit off yet lol..
They concerned i'm not going to be able to do full duties , so therefore incapable of doing my job... think they were softening the blow by saying ill retirment as i will get money from my pension????
Baffling.. Not going to stress about it the moment.. will wait and see what happens..

Take care
Tracy
