The HSE has shared explanatory materials for staff preparing to retire. These documents will provide helpful guidance for members planning ahead.

All of the steps are outlined on a webpage which also contains links to the forms needed. There is a wealth of information on calculating your pension, pension benefits and family law, early retirement, and more. Access the page here.

A detailed retirement guide is available here.

An explanatory presentation to help staff understand the injury grant and how it operates in relation to retirement is available here.

The HSE has also created a video providing step by step guidance on how to complete the HR 107a retirement form.

You can watch it here.
