I was suspended from work as a nurse in the nhs. I have PPMS. The reason for suspension was that the management were unclear of support needs for me and falling over in the kitchen without my crutch. I thought I could manage as I was only putting my cup away. (Wrong there). They have discussed places I could work although this owould be on the first floor and not considered safe. I am still suspended 10 weeks later. My union rep is unsure whether this is discrimination due to disability. I think it is.
It might be worth getting some legal advice to clarify your position.

That sounds like a tough situation, Dave. It might be worth exploring if this could be considered discrimination due to your disability.
