Hi everyone,
I'm new to the site, just wondering if anyone has lost their job because of their HHT.

I was sacked from a job last August after working at the company for 8 months.The company saw me every day blocking my nose to stop the bleeds so i could carry on working. I requested time off for 2 appointments and was refused, once the company realised that i would be needing frequent time off for appointments and operations, they made accusations that i swore at the manager and sacked me.

 I have submitted a appeal to the employment tribunals and have also been in touch with the local C.A.B. They have been very helpful, saying that i don't have a case for unfair dismissal as i was not employed long enough but i will have a case for disability discrimination if i can prove i am actually dissabled.

Does anyone know how much proof i will need?

Does anyone know of anyone in the same kind of situation?

see an employment law solicitor I believe the first interview is free and he will guide you to further your claim also use your union solicitor if you are a member
regards   Phil

thanks for the reply i am getting employment and support allowance which i think is the same. Had to go for a medical, my nose bled for 40 minutes while i was waiting and still was refused saying i am fit for work, i have appealed so am now waiting for the outcome of the appeal.
