Hi Giles,
Yes, I am still working. I have no choice!
ES not regarded as a disability in the US!
PUK Replies - ES is not regarded as a disability here as such either,
although my DR has signed me off as ES so that I claim employement and support
allowance, I am a degree educated Building Surveyor but alas I cant use
computers and mobiles and do the office thing for obvious reasons so I am stuck
in limbo as to what I should do for the rest of my life ? I bounced around
the bottom for some 5yrs struggling with the ES in office environments and
eventually I had to concede that my mental and physical well being needed
greater protection, I started finding part timme work for a while which
paid very well but gradually that has tailed off to nothing, I tried to be up
front about my ES to many recruitment agencies, but that was a big mistake
as I am now quite clearly blacklisted in some way !! Devil you do devil you
dont ! I have sucessfully brought a claim against a former large corp
employer who sacked me a few yrs ago on the basis that it was disability
discrimination, but I think they just gave in as they did not want to push it
into the public arena.
