    Hi Alan.

    Both Carol and Lucy are right. If you go to your Dr or even better your Consultant and explain what the

    Bastard is trying to do. All you need is Medical Reports and stuff them down his throat. if That fails Go with Carols plan and talk to A.C.A.S.or your Union. Good Luck.

    Take care and be safe keep in touch. Sarsfield.

    Dear Alan i agree with what all of your friends here are saying. Please don`t sign anything. my sister did without telling me what was going on and her bastard of a boss got away with everything! she lost her job and he didn`t pay her a penny!!!  

    Take some time to think Alan.

    Take care

    Love scarlet xxx

    Just read this & i must say makes my blood boil,but as they say what comes around goes around,as alredy stated he hasn`t got a leg to stand on don`t sign anything,in fact turn the whole thing over into your advantage klegal advice i have previously done this through using my legal advice i have included with my home insurance check if you are covered if not Citizens advice.Your boss has  shown you he`s not bothered about you ,so  turn it around on him either by a letter yourself or through legal channels as they know all the ins & outs,i personally feel this amounts to victamisation,lovre to  see his face when he recieves the letter:),p.s keep a copy of all corespondance,please keep his updated all the best Nick.

    Hi Alan, how can a person do this after 18 years service, perhaps its not quite the same but my son in law has MS works for a national co and due to his sick leave at times they have been less than fair, the union took his case up with the disability rights people, they now understand his condition (LOL) even he dosnt, but at least they are not giving him jobs he cant do anymore. Keep up the fight and hope it turns out OK.
