Congratulations
I’m pretty sure that you’re not obligated to tell your employer details about your health but if they specifically ask and you opt to say nothing then further down the line it could cause problems if they find out differently.
It’s definitely worth checking their contract and terms of employment first.
Have a look at the health @ work website - www.yourworkhealth.com/
Or check out the government website for you and your employers rights - it’s under the disabled at work section.
Hope that helps…big congratulations jackeesh

Hi Jackie,
Go for it my luv; my philosophy for life is ‘Don’t worry about doing something; only worry about not doing it as the chance may only happen once.’
You’re not diagnosed so there’s nothing you can tell them. I presume your symptoms are not noticeable e.g. walk with a limp or something.
Anyway at interview they are not allowed to ask you any questions about your health.
Once they have formally given you the job it would be impossible to take the offer away as this would be discrimination; illegal.
Go for t!

I agree! go for it! Who knows what the future holds for anyone - ill health or not xxx good luck!!
Definitely go for it - you’ll kick yourself if you turn the job down!
