Disabilities act ?

Hi, I went through this, and the occupational health confirmed I was covered under the DDA. The reasoning is that without it I wouldn't be able to walk or use my hands as I have hand and foot psoriasis. My employer told me they wanted me to go (on my very first day of work there) and I generally got the feeling the manager was concerned she could catch it. When an employer takes this action from personal experience it is from ignorance. However you can use it to see if there is any form of alterations they can make to your work environment which will make you more comfortable. This make include a better more appropriate office chair, or possibly if walking is an issue allocated parking at the office (assuming they provide any). It may be that they just want to support you and are hoping for guidance from occupational health.
