DLA to re-defend mental health case following EAT decision

Comment

I have suffered from Depression for the last 10yrs. In that time I have gained a Law Degree, completed my LPC and Training Contract and am now Head of Personal Injury. I have found it difficult at times when applying for jobs but have ticked the "Are you Disabled" box and when asked what the nature of my disability is I have advised my prospective employed that my disability would got give rise to tham having to make "reasonable adjustments" to accomodate my employment and therefore I would rather not discuss it. I have luckily never been pressed on the issue and have always been successful in securing employment. I feel for those in our industry to have this sometimes debilitating condition and urge people not to be ashamed but not to be to forthcoming either.
