[QUOTE="catinahat, post: 788247, member: 155453"] Hi dogbutler I was in exactly the same situation when I was 55. I can understand your concerns, it's hard to think about life after work without worrying about finances and how you will occupy your time. If your company have offered you early retirement on medical grounds then you should get your full pension entitlement. I know all too well that a pension is nowhere near as good as a full wage, but you will find ways to cut your spending and manage on a lower income. I found that when I took early retirement, I lost the guilty feeling I had that some how I was letting people down by being ill. Since retirement I have found lots of new interests that keep me occupied throughout the day, and have found that despite my poor health I am enjoying life again. I hope things work out for you. Clive. [/QUOTE]
