Case Law for Disability Related Absences

RSISolutions

I have started a new role. I have a home based computer job with occasional meetings on company sites. I am a chartered professional working full time for an employer.

I have to take many disability related absences because of debilitating migraines and irritable bowel syndrome. I also have chronic fatigue syndrome. I have already asked for and secured reasonable adjustments to try to reduce the amount of time I take off randomly with these conditions, but not much seems to work.

The sickness policy says, after 7 days of absences per year, this triggers a meeting. It also says that disability absences can be recorded seperatley but gives no indication as to how many of these will trigger a meeting. I will always be way over 7 days per year.

Where is the case law concerning disability related absences? The employes policy seems to be a bit vauge and legally employers dont have to give disability related absences.
