• Preparation of cases for meetings in the flex jobs and early retirement board prior to recommendation for flex jobs and early retirement.
• Preparation of cases for meetings in the flex jobs and early retirement board prior to the citizen's application for early retirement on the present basis i.e. under the Social Pension Act § 17
