Broke my ankle in the seventies due to bad landing after a jump. I ended up pensioned out in the eighties because of arthritis.My pension has gone up over the years from 30 to 70%. I've had a lot of surgery over the last ten years, none of it very successful. The surgeon i see is now suggesting amputation below the knee. I bet if i agree to this my pension percentage will drop. I don't think that when pension is being assessed they realise how much yor chances of employment are reduced.
