[QUOTE="25TOLIFE, post: 1668114, member: 34972"] I had an on the job injury in March 2014. I would no longer be able to do the job anymore and was probably seen as a liability to UPS anyway. I applied for a disability pension in October 2014 and it was approved a few months later. In my local you have to be out for 6 months before you can even apply for a disability pension. I'm sure it's different in other locals. Workmans comp is a completely separate issue. You can remain on comp and still retire. I get credit for all my friend/t years and had no lapse in medical insurance. I was in a very similar situation to yours. It was a nerve racking experience to say the least. Its not the way I wanted to retire but it is what it is. [/QUOTE]
