That should say less physically demanding. Thanks

Occupational health are saying are am unable to return to work in any capacity. My GP thinks i am more than capable of doing a physically demanding role and i have been asking, but because of OH are not allowing it i have been told thay i have to continue getting a sick note from work. I asked my employer if i could get a fit to work note with adjustments but i wad told 'no' because no suitable work is available.

Thanks HB, That might be a good idea i think its looking like they are not in any rush to conclude. They are leaving me with very little options.

Can i not take the years of discrimination that happened before the 3rd septemeber any further? Thanks

3rd of September was last act of discrimination and beginning of october was the awful occupational health appointment. Feel like they are playing a horrible game with my head, not nice at all. So i may need to act quickly at the end of this month, if i am no closer to getting answers from them. Really appreciate your help thank you

DJ thank you so much for your reply. I don't know who is going to be the new investigating manager yet. They are aware of my mental health and i have said to them that delaying this is not helping. I am keen to leave any submission to the tribunal right up until i have exhausted the internal grievance procedures, which makes the 3 months time limit tricky. It is all very draining Thanks again for your advice

No, i couldn't afford to keep the membership going. Thanks HB

Hi HB, I have repeatedly raised my grievance over the years to my employer about the adjustments i needed in terms of my disability and circumstances but i nothing was ever done to help me and my job became unbearable for me to cope with and this over the years subsequently took a toll on my mental health (get the violins out!) all i ever wanted was just to do my job that i trained to do but they made it too unbearable for me to cope with. The adjustments i asked for were not huge adjustments and they might not even be considered adjustment just the basic needs which my contract said i was entitled too. So initially i wanted them just to be caring enough to implement a cple of minor things to help me to my job. As the above was unsuccessful i wanted the formal letter of grievance to address all of the above, for them to take responsibility and to apologize. Naive maybe? There reluctance to come to any conclusion regarding the lodge grievance and the awful treatment i have received since lodging the grievance is leaving me very stressed and upset and they are just making my disability and mental health worse by their silly game playing (violins again) I have been reluctant to go down the tribunal and court route because of it being the NHS and they are already struggling financially but i am becoming increasingly bitter about it all and anger is kicking in. They have destroyed my career and i am a single parent and have a family to support. I feel like i have done all i can to resolve this informally and formally and i don't think i have been unreasonable at anytime. You think as the NHS is the caring industry that they might care for there employees but NO. So i suppose i do not know what my ideal solution would be now (violins again)

Hello members, I'm new here and would really appreciate any advice. It might even do me good if someone told me to stop whinging, so please feel free. I've been going through a terrible time with my employer the NHS. I believe i have suffered years of disability discrimination and they have tried to push and push me over the edge into leaving. I finally plucked up the courage to start the formal grievance process. I sent a formal letter of grievance to work over 2 months ago and they have changed the investigation manager 3 times, and i am still no closer to getting a reply. Following putting the letter of grievance in over 2 months it feels like they are doing all they can to get me out of the do by intimidating me. They arranged for me to see another Occupational Health Dr and i had the most terrible experience with an occupational health him, this appointment left me distraught. I then put in a complaint about the conduct of the appointment approx 1 month ago and although they have told me they are investigating it i have had no conclusion on that complaint either. At the occupational health appointment he had my scan reports in front of him. I have at no time given permission for occupational health to access my medical records. Are occupational health allowed to access my medical records without my permission? If they had asked my permission i would have said 'yes' because i have nothing to hide, it just feel like yet another violation i feel The most odd thing was that after the dreadful appointment with occupational health i decided to hand in my resignation. I put in my letter of resignation following submitting the letter of complaint regarding the conduct of the appointment and they asked me to withdraw it to give them an opportunity to put things right. They haven't put anything right since withdrawing my resignation, they are ignoring me, delaying the grievance procedure and they are all dishonest. They clearly wanted me gone, then they asked me to withdraw my resignation and i feel at a loss. Any help please? p.s i am on long term sickness and i have been asking to go back to work.
