Its a difficult one this. Regardless of any compensation claim, COB has a medically reported health problem. Most potential employers are going to have a pre employment questionaire which will say something along the lines of:

We care about peoples Health and Safety blah blah

Do you have any health problem that could be made worse by carrying out any of the following tasks?

13) Carrying out repetative movements with your fingers, hands, wrists, arms etc

It may even ask if you have ever left or been dismissed from a job because of health problems.

Off topic but I don't know any company in the country bothered about their employees Health and Safety.

They are however petrified of getting sued themselves

Trouble is that when you post your trials and tribulations in microscopic detail you then leave yourself open to scrutiny by others.

That was my point. Sorry, it wasn't that clear was it. All these questionaires are to cover their own *****. You cant blame them though, there are loads of people trying to make a quick buck from so called work related injuries (no way am I suggesting this is what COB was doing) and the 'claims for you lawyers' don't help either.

Exactly that.

I also think that a fair few that posted on the various threads held back a great deal as to not actually sound what most on SN would call rude, where others on SN would see it as firm.

The so-called abusive messages however beggar belief from grown-ups and what exactly were they abusive about? What made a person want to be abusive to COB's posts? That's the bit I don't get.

DJ Dunk, I'm still waiting for your answer.

Clever attempt at playing ignorant but I thought a couple of days was long enough for you to have answered it.

Likewise. Try reading the thread in a little more detail.

For proper malingering you can't beat your local council staff....

This summer a woman at work didn't get a job she applied for, and has been off work ever since, (HOW ?).

My advice to Andy would have been to get the hell out of S****horpe, so his ex-employer couldn't tack his activities as easily.

When the statement is quantified by a weak person of course it will.

Equally confirming to me that you haven't a clue and are no better than the bullies you appear to despise if you think labelling somebody without knowing them is clever.
