Yes. You can.
Hi peeps
As you know, I got a new job which I start next Monday.
I received my offer letter, detailing the terms of my contract, etc.
Today I received a health questionnaire from their Occupational Health department.
I missed an AWFUL lot of work last2 years because of my neck condition. I was in the midst of dealing with it, awaiting referrals and a dianosis, etc., and over the last two years I probably missed more the 50 days on top of 40 that I missed when I had double knee surgery in November.
By now, through diet, exercise and meds, I am managing the condition the majority of the time. It always hurts but no longer prevents me from working or getting about unless I have a real bad bout, which <touch wood> has been a few months.
Once I disclose this information, can they then reneg on their offer? While they are registerable disabilitys, I am not "registered" as such, though my previous employers were very good and treated me as such.
I am now a bit nervous about them deciding they don't want me.
DOes anyone know how I stand? I don't understand UK EMployment laws so am at a bit of a loss. Its also a new condition for me, relatively, and not sure if I am protected in anyway??
I will nervously await any tips and pearls of wisdom.
Thanks guys and gals.
