You, as the employer, cannot make a decision on an ill-health retirement without:
- having first obtained an opinion from an Independent Registered Medical Practitioner (IRMP). They must be qualified in Occupational Health medicine. The IRMP’s opinion should be provided by completing an ill-health certificate.
Please contact us if you are unsure which certificate should be provided to the IRMP.
