I took ill health retirement between 1 April 2015 and 31 March 2022 (the Remedy period). What does this mean for me?
If you retired on Ill Health between 01 April 2015 and 31 March 2022 and are eligible for the 2015 Remedy (McCloud), you've been reassessed for Ill Health Retirement under the alternative scheme, either PCSPS or alpha depending on your circumstances.
This is to understand whether any member who applied for Ill Health Retirement during that period would have been eligible for Ill Health benefits in the alternative pension scheme.
The reassessment has not affected your original Ill Health application.
We have written to the relevant members to advise next steps.
