Rejected by WH Smith's!
Above. I made the fatal mistake of declaring my disability and the fact I can't work 50 hours a week due to carers etc. It's supposed to be illegal to discriminate but they do it anyway! I know it'd please Dad if I said "screw this I give up", but I am NOT proving the (Removed by moderator)

Declaring disabilities on job applications, good idea or bad idea?
Above. IMO it's a bad idea, every time I apply to anywhere, first thing I do is declare my disability on the online application form, consequently my form gets insta-binned despite the illegality of discrimination unless it's somewhere like the Co Op or Tesco that offers guaranteed interviews for the disabled if you meet…

Under the "Access to work" scheme? I don't drive due to disability and the job is in deepest, darkest Rotherham City Centre I think, I did look the postcode up on Google Maps and it's only about 7 miles away so I don't think it would be expensive. Can anyone offer advice?

Hi, just after some advice. I’m due to return to work after maternity on the 1st April. I’m unsure whether or not it will be beneficial for me to do so.

Employment tribunal form, HELP!
Hello, So I was recieving some advice on this from a legal representative, but unfortunately they seem to want to do none of the leg work at all and seem to not really put any input in at all, I'm running around sending in mounts of evidence to them that I've had no feedback on. So I've decided to go it alone. The legal…

Has your employer denied your request to be put on furlough?
Hi everyone, You may have seen that Scope is calling on the Government to
provide disabled people with an emergency support package. One of the things we
call for as part of a support package is for disabled people to be given the
