I'm stuck.

Ok.. might be able to help a little here...

Your first port of call should be the citizens advice buearu, as they can help with dealing with creditors and getting any payments to them down considerably. I used to work there many years ago and it was common enough to get your payments down to maybe ยฃ10 per month - in total..

Now - you can do this yourself if you are up to it - you need to write to each of the people that you owe money too, explain your situation and offer them a payment. Even if they don't take it pay something - even ยฃ1 per month, because a court won't increase it if its reasonable based on your finances.

Right - onto work.

SSP is mandated legally in the uk, but its a ****shit wage - ยฃ90ish per week, but they cannot withhold this unless you have not given them a sick note. If they try go and have a chat with ACAS to begin with (0300 123 1100 for London, but google them - there are closer branches). They will give you the right people to talk to, but I think its the DWP and obudsmen which is the next step, and you could possibly take your work to court for this, under constructive dismissal.

You can get benefits - thats a another trip to the CAB (citizens advice) because they will tell you exactly what benefits you can get, and how. I would say based on what you've said you should get a minimium of a tax credit, worth something and every little will help. There may be more depending on your own personal circumstances, such as help with rent, as you renting privately changes the field, but doesn't eliminate it. Ask CAB, and they can help.

So.. on monday - give your local CAB a call and make an appointment.

And good luck! - Stick in there and don't give up! You've got this <3

I have a choice - I can take an offer for a manager in training program at 16 dollars an hour for 1-3 months and move into a manager role that will pay a 45k-50k salary a year.

Short term vs long term. Fairly simple :)

Do a spreadsheet - 3 columnrs
year Salary option 1 / Salary option 2
1
2
3
4

Then total up and see your break even point - how many years it will take you to reach the same earnings.

Then see if you are happy waiting that long... and see what it adds up like after that many years.

To make it simipler, use culmative totals :) Also - if feeling flash, do some tax workings too, but thats optional.

Can anyone recommend how to find a good solicitor for disability discrimination in the workplace in the uk?

ACAS or UNISON may be good places to start... - but thats more employment law than a solicitor. As for a good lawyer, can't help - sorry!

Not true - Get ACAS involved because with those guys you stand a decent chance of suing the crap out of them. a union may help too - talk to UNISON.

Don't give up - either make an active move way - or against, because the status quo might be easier for your sanity in the short term, but will screw you in the long term (believe me, i know...)

You are right in that you can't win on your own, but bring the big guys in, and have a better shot... I'm not saying it will be easy, but it IS possible to win.
