Medically retired but found fit for work
I was dismissed from my job on the grounds of capability. I had been and still off sick.l have had to claim UC. I'v had surgery on one of my legs, a total knee replacement, l'v got to have my other one done at some point in the not to distant future. I do get part dissability pip. For an on-going back problem..I've not yet had my work capability meeting. My surgeon has written a formal letter to my Doctor stating that in his medical opinion l should be medically retired. I have regular fitnotes from my Doctor. My work coach feels that l will be found fit for work. I am 60yrs next year.l really don't know what to do can anybody help. Thank you for your time

I'm sorry to hear this, it sounds like a really frustrating situation to be in. I hope we can help: one of our employment advisors should be in touch soon. Please do keep us updated if there are any developments in the meantime.
Ths sounds a bit odd as your coatch has no rite to have said that as he/she is not a surgen or GP in regards to your ongoibg back problem if it restricks your mobility day to day and you take pain relefe meds for your pain you should be put in the suport group.wright to the manager of ESA along with supporting medical evedence and reports from yout GP and specialusts your under and explain that you should be in the suport group send coppies of everything put your natinal inshurence number on the top of each coppy so they cant get lost and send it to them special delivery that way they will get it 1om the next day and it cant get lost good luck
