I sm on short term
I am making an effort to return back to work and doctors has Saif I can only work max of 2 hours on computer and if I can tolerate it can increase
Can gwl or employer refuse to this request abd can they offer me early retirement

An employer has a duty to accommodate your disability to the point of undue hardship, which will often include job modifications like the one that you are suggesting. However, the threshold for "undue hardship" depends on a number of factors specific to your employment and industry. I recommend contacting an employment lawyer to discuss your situation.

Thanks can they offer me early retirement
Everything is negotiable. But if they are offering an early retirement, you should ensure that you do not agree to anything that compromises your severance entitlements.

I have sent all the reports to gwl and yet I have not heard anything back if the employer is going to allow me work modified 2 hous I left s many message do I need to stay put or send them something in writing Do you think they might be working on something Little worried
I would definitely suggest putting your requests and follow-up attempts in writing.
So the employer can not accommodate me two hours on computer and thet are discussing this with insurace If the call me and tell me what should I do or ask them
Again, there are a lot of moving parts to this analysis, which required a more in-depth discussion. I recommend contacting an employment lawyer at the number below to discuss your situation.
