Work welfare meeting

Anyone done this? My work have requested a medical report from GP which is done and very supportive of my health. Brain tumour removed and now diagnosed epileptic. Going through big change in drugs. Some days I feel I could return to work most days feel I won't. What happens at welfare meeting. Can they just get rid of me?

I had to go through this when I became disabled work kept asking me when I would return back to work and I couldn't answer them. I had to have an assessment this involved a doctor from an impartial firm visit me at home. He asked me questions and then assessed my physical side such as movement, walking etc. He then sent a report to me to check and if I said it was correct and that he'd not made mistakes or missed anything. Then it was sent on to my employers, in my case they stated I could not return to work and gave a timeline which they would then reassess me. Does this help?

I went to work two weeks after being discharged from hospital where I had been for two months, six weeks of that in a coma.

When I was discharged from hospital I was three sheets to the wind and epileptic. I was sacked and there was no assistance available then [1967] and I never ever disclosed neurosurgical intervention or being ep.

Only once was I sacked for being ep and that was the one time I told the employer. The next day I was out the door.

As for medication; that had a big effect on me and whilst I don't suggest you do what I did I put the lot down the loo and haven't looked back.

I was offered a 'Green Card' for disabled workers which I accepted. Worst thing I ever did ..... paid less, made obvious the employer was doing you a favour by giving you a job where they expected the same output as an 'able bodied' worker and mocked by 'colleagues.'

Soon got rid of that.

Three years on from leaving hospital I worked for a [now closed] pharmaceutical research company who took the risk and sent me to college and I did not let them down, eventually gaining my qualifications which set me in good stead for the rest of my life.

I have never disclosed that I am ep nor that I had neurosurgery to prospective or my current employers; I possess the ideal defence .... "I forgot."

Nowadays, employers are now more acceptable of this but to disclose years ago made your efforts filling in applications totally wasted.

This is a potted history of the last 50 years of my life; at 67 I'm still working, command a good wage and more importantly still 'enjoy' a fit or two.
