No they didn't qualify that statement. The report was really short, my employer asked a lot of questions so I expected a lengthy report tbh but all it really said was I've been suffering from mentall illness for a long time and have support from the CMHT. The GP then answered all the questions in one sentence really saying that I struggle with self care and coping in stressful environments. Then added I shouldn't be working full time. And that was it.

Your employer has to treat your mental illness as a disability and should offer reasonable adjus. tments that will help you do your job. That could mean offering you more flexible ways of working including reduced hours or working from home or time off for appointments. It is a two way process so your employer can' t impose changes on you and you can' t demand the impossible.
I'll PM you later with some helpful links.

Thanks
I think there is an employment support worker...I remember it being mentioned briefly at the end of last year so i will have to look into that. Hadn't even thought about seeing them tbh!
