Demoted at work due to my “illness”

Hi everyone I am having trouble at work I have been working there for just over 12 year and I love my job, i had a relapse in February and had time off when I went back they suggested I did a phased return which I agreed to, then lost my driving license in the summer due to the medication I am on and since then the new boss seems to have it in for me I had a “welfare meeting” that was terrible I was sobbing the entire meeting now they want to demote my with a £5,000 pay cut as they say I can’t do my job due to my illness, but I feel that it not true I don’t know what to do I have another “welfare meeting” on Tuesday 🙁

Hi Wendy. I've recently had similar experience and can say that I received some great help and advice from the MS Society https://www.mssociety.org.uk/care-and-support/financial-help/legal-advice They've also got numerous pamphlets if you're more of a reader. https://www.mssociety.org.uk/care-and-support/resources-and-publications/publications-search/work-and-ms-an-employees-guide
