Full medical retirement

StephenMillrine

I have just recently been paid off from my job with full medical retirement due to a long term illness, can someone please advise me on where to go now.

Hello Stephen @StephenMillrine and a warm welcome to the community. Glad to have you with us.
It might be worth having a look at this discussion and to check out the category "Ask an employment advisor". I'm going to tag one of the advisors in here just to help them be aware of your post @mwila_scope.
Things may be a bit quiet at the moment, being the weekend, but bear with us and the right people will get back to you.
Warmest best wishes to you
Richard

Hi @StephenMillrine

It’s great to meet you this afternoon.

I had to take “early retirement” a few years ago now.

Please please let me know if I can help you in anyway???
