Permitted work and employment rights was created by sarahloe
Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice please.
I have been on dla and esa for about 8 years due to mental health issues.
For the last few years I have been doing some permitted work with my previous employer.. working 15hrs a week for 3 weeks then off for 2 weeks and back etc.
Just recently there have been some issues at the company, not involving me, but I was taken into the manager's office last week and told my services were no longer required..... no notice no warning anything.
I was asked to leave there and then with no goodbyes to staff or anything.
I was made feel like dirt and this has had an effect on my mental health...
I had previously being in talks with my employer about taking up a full time job and coming off benefits...
I have finally found the strength to contact a solicitor but I don't know if I'm mentally strong enough to go down that line.
Does anyone know do you have employment rights while on permitted work? and what happens next.
Sorry for the long post but I'm soo distressed at the minute I just need some guidance.
Thank you x

Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems

I sorry but we don't deal with employment issues on the forum your best bet is to contact your local CAB who should have experience with this.
What I can say is that your doing PW should have nothing to do with the issues you have
with your employer, that is between you and the DWP only.
