disability discrimination act and work
 
I recently got a job and didn't pass occupational health but they said due to the disability discrimination act they have to keep the job open for me for a few months so that I can be more well to start work.

I feel quite mixed about this a) I glad I still have a job but b) I feel like they don't really want me they are just doing what the law says.

Should I be upset that they only give me the job because they have to or greatful that they are giving me a chance?

I feel like I've caused them so much trouble and paper work.

I don't think it's that they have to give you the job.
When I didn't pass OH nothing was said about it and you passed the interview and got given the job in the first place which obviously means they wanted you!

I've found people are more understanding than you give them credit for. A lot of people genuinely do want to help and support people in getting into and staying in work.
That's the reason I got my current job, because even though I had no experience or qualifications or anything, the manager wanted to give me a chance because work is good for MH and it's a positive thing etc.
