i have been diagnosed 2 years now [ im 61] and work full time for social services. My employers have been great in reducing my work load etc but i am struggling. What would be the best way to "end " work prior to retirement age ? has anyone not taken early retirement and received benefits for example ? i do get PIP [lower] and i have options to go part time but not sure what to do.
