I read this article and thought others might like to read it. From a personal perspective; I am not sure this is a one size fits all discovery, it may be part of the story. I was born a discordant twin; my birth weight less than half of my 20 minute older sibling. In the womb I was clearly second in the pecking order for nutrition... One result of this: A brother 4 inches taller, lean with few health issues, me; short & fat with various health issues along the way. www.theguardian.com/society/2016/aug/18/unhealthy-pregnancy-diet-high-fat-sugar-adhd-children-dna

Hi...
It looks like I am going to be taking my employer to tribunal, I have been away from work for nine months. I disclosed my ADD to my employer and was asked to "refrain from work" I was told to get a GP certificate to keep me at home. Before I attempted a return to work a few months later I was provided with a list of conditions I had to comply with; these included where I had to sit, where I was not to work. I was forbidden from wearing earphones at work....I was told I had "to display a positive attitude at all times". I have the list of conditions in several letters and e-mails, they seem to change with each iteration.
In a couple of weeks my pay stops altogether, I have been paid contractual sick pay at half rate for a the last few months. I now face the almighty task of organising and managing a case at tribunal as I have not been able to find any way of making my employer understand that they cannot put conditions (or "expectations" as they have now rephrased them) upon me especially as they dont relate to all the staff....I have not been able to get an explanation from them for the conditions..
I submitted a grievance which they would not accept as it did not "conform to the grievance policy"
I worry that despite my burning sense of injustice and my willingness to wear the cape of disability rights champion... My lack of organisation; my innovative and ever changing procrastination techniques and my personal dislike of confrontation is going to lead me to deliver a badly wrapped package of gripes, complaints and quibbles to the courthouse for my employers legal team to swiftly tear apart and deposit in the waste bin.
The thought of having to stand up in the tribunal to represent myself fills me with dread...
Does anybody have any experience of the tribunal process or representing oneself?
