Appeals & Pension Success Stories

I am pleased to inform you that my IHR application/appeal has been proved to be successful (Tier 2) by the NHS pension. My application couldn’t have gone through all those steps without your professional advice as my dedicated representative and the support from WEU and all the team members. A big, big thank you for all the hard work, time, and effort.

• The initial responses and follow-up from the administration team and assigned expert were always swift.
• The extensive support in Occupational Health and Employment Law via calls, emails, and meetings was extraordinarily professional and diligent.
• WEU was reputably unbiased (politically) and member-oriented.

Ill Health Retirement Achievements

I would like to thank you for all your help in obtaining my Ill Health Retirement. I received Tier 1 after successfully winning the appeal. I couldn’t have done it without all your help and patience, especially given my concentration issues since my strokes.

You are a great asset to Workers of England and I highly recommend you to my friends and family. I thank you from the bottom of my heart and wish you and all your team well in the future.
