Hi guys, I've had a chat with some other friends who have had similar encounters. I'm much clearer now - and able to express it more concisely and more legally. My employers solicitors have already agreed my sleep disorder is un-disputably a disability - so half way there. I just need to collate the evidence of where they have failed to reasonably adjust and discriminated on disability - and they've made it so so easy

Thanks Becky2585 - a lot changed in July, I discovered that one with a painful £250 fee

I think I'll face it, tough it out. I've been through a lot worse...... I think I can prove my case

I have a feeling my employer's solicitors regard a tribunal as their second home; I'm aware of lots going on. Surely the judges must see patterns of behaviour forming? I'll get reading. Thanks

Hi Sweet Lorraine, Thanks for your advice. In some way if I go in there completely ill prepared it might demonstrate how my disabilities impact on my life. I have a sleep disorder so only ever have half the time to do things in than people without a sleep problem like mine. And the anxiety associated with the complex PTSD literally prevents me form accessing sources of help in the same ways other people do. It's a "case management order and notice of preliminary hearing"

Hence my inquiry about representation SweetLorraine

The basis was failure to reasonably adjust Disability Discrimination Bullying & bullying culture The incidents which have had the dismissing malicious intents have been listed - it certainly feels like constructive dismissal. Any reasonable adjustment discuss sort to exclude me even further like I say. I don't think it's a CMD - there are about 10 points to be discussed, which will form the case for the hearing. Thanks

Thanks steampowered. I was asked to provide a statement of how my disabilities affect me for the tribunal already. The feedback from the work solicitors is that they can't dispute the sleep disorder is a disability. I've got one witness who was hounded by my bosses to make a complaint against me. He refuses to. I hadn't wronged him in anyway. I feel slightly better about facing it alone

I am about to walk into a preliminary hearing without any representation next week. I returned to a previous employer, and began struggling with mental health issues because I felt my senior manager was neglecting the department. Not being able to progress and develop my work streams was really frustrating, and it began to make me sick. I asked for help and was referred to OH OH made recommendations of reasonable adjustments. Negotiations with my senior line manager in trying to implement the advice broke down 3 times (as she tried to change my contracted hours from 37.5 to 40, refused to accept i had a disability, questioned my capacity, capability and performance alongside. My employer was also trying to discipline me for time keeping without making any effort to adjust.) It got worse: I was overlooked for a development opportunity that lots of people in the organisation assumed i would act in my line managers role. I applied for the secondment under the two ticks guaranteed interview scheme - but didn't get an interview. My senior manager looked at my pre-employment health questionnaire and accused me of lying on it. I grievanced, and was told my complaints wouldn't be upheld and I should put up and shut up. I was told my opinion didn't count because I had a distorted perception of reality. After OH held a case conference to ease the implementation of the reasonable adjustment - i received a six page letter trying to change my terms and conditions and only achieved excluding me further. Within 3 months of being back at work (working to their rules, and with them still failing me) - they started disciplinary action on me for three offenses. Only two complaints were attained - one was linked to them ignoring OH advice. When OH found out about the disciplinary's he advised them to deal with them swiftly - Feb 2012 - Jan 2014 and not dealt with. Finally, I took annual leave and went on holiday. Part way through I liaised with my line manager and add an extra day. It was granted. That day my middle manager rang me screaming that I had failed to report, and refused to accept I had a days leave granted. I was going to be disciplined for that too! Very upset I emailed the person I sent the original grievance to saying that the bullying was still happening. I was suspended in July 2013. I've been suspended ever since. So whilst subject to sanctions of the suspension, and the ?three disciplinary's hanging over me I was encouraged ?(harassed) to apply for other jobs with the employer. On my third application I queried if I should be applying as technically I was subject to sanctions. I was then told, it had all been a terrible mistake and as I am probably going to be sacked I shouldn't be applying for anything afterall. Two days before Christmas I was emailed to pick up a 6 volume report into why they should sack me. And I should anticipate a letter in the new year inviting me to a meeting to terminate my contract. I have complex PTSD after being abused as a child, and delayed sleep phase disorder. Can someone reassure me they can see a pattern of behaviour that displays disability discrimination? Can anyone tell me where I can find a lastminute.com legal eagle to support me at the tribunal? (I've tried CAB, their person who does 'employment' is on annual leave - and they can't get someone from another branch.) Thanks for your time.....
