Reasonable Adjustments

I currently have reasonable adjustments which allows me to work from home, therefore my contract was home based. However, there has been reorganisation and now they are saying I am slotted in with same job description but London based. The office in London is 3.5 hours away (this is one way) so would be 7 hours per day? This does not seem right? They are taking away my reasonable adjustments, and have ignored the occupational health report that was provided. They are saying they want me to see specialist and want my medical records. This cannot be right can it?

Such is the corrupt nature of some employers.
My employer, who is now a famous dyslexic, closed our local branch in order to make me redundant, all other staff were transferred to other branches. My employer did this to avoid legal action which I could have taken in relation to what was the new discrimination legislation of 2005. Just to add to their corrupt nature they open another local branch 3 years later which disproved the reasons they officially used to close the branch I worked at.
From my experience in recent years the NHS is run by the corrupt politicians who want to sell the NHS to various USA based companies, and prior to BREXIT, various European companies. All of which only have various medical practicies they want to market. Which tends not to be related or inline with the real issues many of us may have.
All about them making money from the vulnerable.
You are probably right about the corruption. I am not going to not resist and I will do what I can. It’s not right really taking advantage of the vulnerabilities of others.
At this time I was not really aware of the politics regarding disabilities, and why many so called medical and support professionals do not want Auditory Processing Disorder to be recognised, and I had no idea that there was about to be new disability discrimination legislation.
When the company announced it was closing our branch I had a run in with the regional manager which lead to me having a nervous breakdown, and i was on tranquillisors for about 6 - 8 months by which time the branch had been closed.
It was the Job Centre Disability adviser who I had been seeing while having some discrimination issues while the branch was open, who explained what the real issues were. I was too stressed to even consider taking them to court.
Added to which since then no other potential employer has been willing to make the accommodations I would require to take on job even as a volunteer. I seem to be classified as unemployable, because i know too much about my disability.
