Hello
new here
Joined in the early 80's, got out after 20 years, retired. Not medically released. Because of several service related injuries, I have been drawing a pension for several years before getting out. My pensionable condition was never bad enough at the time for medical release. So I was allowed to continue working in my trade.
Since getting out, condition worsened and got reassessed. Ok. I've continued to work, I could not live on my small pension, not enough to live on and pay my mortgage and kids etc... but I was unable to work full time. I wasn't aware I could be eligible to other programs.
Long story short, I've just been approved for rehab. This makes me really anxious!!! What now? I'm scared I will have to quit working completely and not have enough money to live on! My job pays well, I just can't work it many hours.
I've spent the last week reading on the different programs but I find it all very confusing and have more questions than answers.
