Hi, if this is not the correct forum please let me know..
Someone I know would like to retire at an earlier age due to deteriorating mental health over the past few years, to the point where he can no longer function in a workplace. He is currently on extended sick leave for more than a year now, not receiving any pay, social welfare has been delayed for whatever reason, so the severe lack of income has been adding on a lot of stress. He would like to retire early and very soon, he has been on the job for more than a decade. He is trying to contact his union rep for any assistance or advice on early retirement but they have been busy lately. I am worried that this early retirement process might not be so straightforward. He is certainly not in the right mental state to deal with this entire situation on his own. Other than a union rep, is there anyone else who can assist in this kind of situation or where we can get help (e.g. local authority)? Any useful advice on where to start, or how to deal with this in the best possible way would be extremely helpful. Thanks in advance
