I have had epilepsy on and off since i was a child.since early teens epilepsy had stopped for few years .but late in adult hood ive had a few occasions of epilepisy .in last few years ive had occasions of epilepsy.since 2009 ive been employed as a support worker in mental health care.my employer has know about my epilepisy .but recently they have become less willing to help .ive had occupational health meeting and outcome was not for me to lone work at nights.so my employer wants to move me to another care house within company so i dont lone work.but its costing more to travel there and iam lone working which dont benifit my health .

    Hi @Andy70and a warm welcome to the community from me!

    Thank you for telling us a bit about your situation. Have you spoke to your boss about how your new role is impacting your health and costing you more?

    Hi @Andy70 welcome to the Community from me too. If you moved so you would not have to work alone could you mention this to your manager? As you have already told the Company working alone impacts your health and moved so you would not have too, it seems a bit unfair that you are.

    Please take care of yourself.
