If your Consideration of entitlement to ill health retirement benefits (AW33E) is successful, the payable date of the ill health retirement benefits is the day after termination of all NHS employment.
Your employer must close down the record with exit code '04' for termination due to sickness.
Any untaken annual leave will extend the NHS employment termination date.
If you successfully dispute an AW33E by the Internal Dispute Resolution (IDR) process, the appropriate tier of benefits become payable from the day after all NHS employment has stopped.
If you've left the Scheme and your benefits are deferred, the payable date for a successful Consideration of entitlement for early payment of deferred benefits due to ill health application (AW240), which includes consideration of an application under the IDR process, is the date on which the healthcare provider completed part 2 of the AW240 application form.
