M mickmac29 Registered User Messages 9 14 Dec 2015 #1 Hi I'll be retiring from work in January due to a terminal illness. My workplace has a scheme whereby if you retire due to disability they pay me 475 euro per week (2 thirds of my pay). Am I able to apply for disability as well (I'm very doubtful). Michael.
