A man aged 63 .It was confirmed by specialists.five years ago that he would never be fit for work again .eight months ago was sent forms to fill in for, back to work .After 3 months they expired and he was sent more to fill in.He has still had no reply from jobseekers.?? what would you do? He was told a dr would examin him so every day he`s waiting for the letter saying when,but no appointment .When he calls jobseekers they say the form has still not been delt with and can`t get any answers .can he go higher and to whom ?any one having the same problem? well Dave it all started with TB and 2 9months treatment with drugs drugs.Three lung embolisums,a massive heart attack,,uncontrolled hypertention.4 colapsed discs in lower back.constant leg pain .and more.Yes maybe he could get a job at jobseekers to make them get thier finger out and do thier job. Are you saying he can draw his state pension befor 65? he found out there is no-way any one can elect to take early retirment

1. you will have to attend medicals if they call for you and can make you go back
2. if he has a medical cert then he can't work if he has no cert then he can However no one can force you to work, but I suspect you are not asking about work but about claiming state benefits The DHSS can require him to seek employment if he has no medical cert. .
3. If you are retired due to an illness and the illness goes away, and you have no other reason to retire, then yes, you should go back to work. Here is a more pointed example. A young man comes down with TB and can not work. He needs to be put into isolation and given massive doses of antibiotics. After the TB is under control a year later, he no longer has any symptoms and is not contagious. Now, should he be made to return to work or should he get to goof off and stay retired for the rest of his life? However, in your example, the 63 year old could elect to take Social Security at a reduced rate and retire. At that age, he is not being forced to go back to work, he is being forced to take a regular retirement like the rest of us do.
