early retirement was created by Rab
I retired from my job through ill health and have been on a company pension since then. I also get IB. I have been asked to attended a medical assessment. I am an AK amputee for 40 years and it has taken its toll on the rest of my body ie knee, foot,hip etc. My question is if my medical fails will I loose my company pension through ill health.

I think it unlikely, but the only way you will know is to check the terms and conditions of the pension, this is not something we can help you with as they are unique to you.

You haven't made it clear whether it is the DWP, or your company pension provider who have asked you to attend a medical, although it appears to me to be the DWP.
If I'm correct, then a DWP medical should have no bearing on your occupational pension. They use their own criteria and employ their own medical assessors.
