Shift.ms is better if you're logged in

Hi all, Hope you’re all doing okay and sorry for the long post 🧡 I’m sharing my experience to raise awareness and hopefully get some support from those who understand what it’s like to live with MS. I’ve been battling multiple sclerosis for a while now, and while it’s hard enough dealing with my health, the discrimination I’ve faced from a well-known mental health charity has made things even worse. I was employed by Mind here in the UK, the mental health charity, but when I went through a health scare involving my MS—where I was possibly facing a PML diagnosis and had to start immunosuppressive treatment—they didn’t make any reasonable adjustments for my condition. To make matters worse, they moved my redundancy interview by one working day, despite my MS affecting my mental and physical health and mobility. When I raised the issue, they ignored the legal implications under the Equality Act, so I had to take them to tribunal. Now I’m in the middle of the tribunal process, and I’m speaking out about this because I want people to know what really goes on behind closed doors, even in places that claim to support mental health and disability. Has anyone else here had similar experiences at work with MS? Or even had to go through a discrimination claim? I’m still fighting, and I hope sharing this helps others who might be facing similar challenges.
