Legal Question in Employment Law in New York

Question - I was laid off from my job after 35 yrs, injured on job, employer could no longer accommodate my restrictions, so I was laid off, but I was put on Workers comp, HR told me

my employment status was change to comp., so I was not eligible to receive my severance pay

after 6 months, you are considered terminated. Since then I was told I could get severance pay if I sign off saying I won't file law suit for age and gender discrimination.

Now I am 58 yrs old and did work in quality, then was told my position was eliminated and had to go run 6 davenport machines or there's the door, this is a very physical job and mostly all men do this job

Would I have a case or is it too had to prove age and gender discrimination?
