Hi
Atcham,
Thanks for your comments. I appreciate your concern.
I doubt if I would qualify for any state benefit. As ATCOs we are so specialised that, even though we are unable to continue with our air traffic careers, there are so many other careers or jobs we could pursue which have no medical restrictions.
I was just taken aback by the HMRC decision.
The Guild are having a look into the ruling for me so I will see what advice and information they may give.
Thanks again
