Needing to fight a disability discriminatory orgainisation over “invisible” brain injury

[Shreds]

Initially after coming out of hospital all I wanted to do was get back to work which I did. That went well and I felt happy assisting others but in the last year I have ‘hit a brick wall’ having being badly discriminated against by an outside organisation and I am not now working, so every day is a massive challenge. All very depressing and frustrating.

So typical of the way ABI & TBI are not properly legulated for even if Sir Chris Bryants private members ABI bill gets through.

Do I go public and involve the media plus the ICO for failure of the organisation to be complaint with GDPR. I am demeaned by the discrimination and need the dishonest and discriminatory large organisation wiping out.

(Last summer I did meet a lady who took HMRC to court and won her case, but she had been employed by them. She did get a substantial payout though, because as she put it; “I had a good lawyer”. )

As my neuro said though in my case, given your determination and positivety that brought you through your medical trauma, you may be better than a reliance on people who dont know as much as you do.

Except I am not a lawyer.

I wish I could take a case for disabilty discrimination forward but am struggling to find anyone who can help ideally on a ‘pro bono’ basis, as I dont have the money for qualified legal assistance.

Has anybody experienced similar and if so how did you tackle it? Did you succeed?

I think I have been discriminated against in the past. But it was way back and I didn't recognise it as discrimination. Is there a Headway lawyer who could help perhaps?

Not exactly in the same boat but pondering suing my employer for forcing me to quit before I even had treatment but the stress might not be worth the return.

Here in Canada there are needs based (where you pay based on income) lawyers in certain areas. There are also student lawyers that can provide free advice. Maybe you can check in your area if something like that exists? The issue might be the area of law that your issue falls in.

Best of luck! Let us know how things go!
