Hi, I was sacked after a major back injury, leaving my L4/5 with a protruding disc. I am on a return to work income support payment, they call it, but with only just over 1 year left to return to work, they have stopped paying for everything, still claiming I had no back injury all of a sudden.
I received a sum of back pay and my payments have been regular. My question is, my return to work specialist has left me high and dry; I received no training to return back to the work force as I am not able to carry out the same job.
I fear economic loss. I am dipressed and am on medication and about to see a specialist. Can I sue the return to work specialist as well as my employer for the stress, mentally and financially and section 60 lump sum after or before my 2 years run ou? Because I know my back is going to be an on going pain for the rest of my life. It definitely doesn't get better after they finish paying me.
Help!
