feel harassed

[darren d]

Hello all, been off work for 7 months now. Without going into to much detail I have now got another problem which is sort of related to my existing problem which has just been flagged up by the specialist. I am waiting to have a procedure for this but do not know when this will be. Doctor has signed me off work for a further 2 months. I am hoping to be back before then on the understanding this procedure does the trick,its 50/50 you see . If no joy referred to someone else. Informed my Dom and he is on about IHR. I feel this is being used as a threat towards me. I feel stressed and worried about my illness and to have this on top,well I feel a little suicidal. He tells me to chase up the appointment but I have already done this. He says if he was in that much pain he would. But these things take time. I really don't. Know what to do. I know its a business but they don't seem to be giving me chance to see if the treatment works. Thanks for listening,any advice welcome

What does your ATOS report say.
Do they think you will ever be fit enough for the job?
Have they recommended any adjustments to your duty?
What does your GP/specialist say?

Who cares what the DOM thinks.
He is the least qualified to pontificate on your present or future state of health.

I speak to atos on Friday. My gp says after treatment should have a phased return. My specialist says see how I go with the procedure. Hoping to get back after treatment. I feel I cannot do the job at the moment but just need some treatment . Thanks for reply

First up hope you get better and good wishes to you - your health is MORE important than ANYTHING ! So remember that !
Second thing is as a postman of over 12yrs i have just found out that Atos and union don't seem to care and they advised many things to happen so I could continue my job but NOTHING was done to help me and I could take no more - I have since learned ( after the event of course !) that paperwork and grievence forms against Managers are MOST important to do so I would put a grievience form in asap !
Secondly sadly I had no help and rather than wrecking my knees and putting up with anymore stress and anxiety I had to leave - i have never understood this company and the way things go on and surely I cannot understand just how they get away with stuff but they seem to be as I learnt from experience !
Dont feel bad - there's a better way forward I'm sure for you and you will find it !
Take care and good wishes !
