Trying to get NHS Pension ill Health

I got so sick, unspecified facial pain, neurological anomalies, bed bound 4 years. You cannot get to Drs except GP.My GP did not understand the form needs to explain how it impacts you. I am faced with having to beg an uninterested neurologist in a month, with cheque book, ring secretaries, see if I can beg him to fill in a 5 page form! I would probably need to pay some private OT man. I can get my small pension early at aged 58, in a month, no humiliation, but probably with tax of 10% of lump sun and 6% main pension. I get different results each time you call. I f you are declined health, a huge threat on dialysis are, you have to go to dispute and prevent your own case, which they take 2 months to consider,can still refuse and then you are waiting for the ombudsman. I am waiting for my code to get my exact projection, but it is highly likely I will pursue the health route now. I am not working so am not entitled to some enhancements anyway. I went crazy with the pain and am in trouble with a secured debtor, it should be enough to keep them from my door. This is extreme, but before you decide, look at the online heartbreaking threads of those trying to get their pension 5 years later. With love, Alhara.

I hope this works out for you. It might be worth exploring employment support allowance (esa) if you have worked recently .
