In a recent case, a claimant suffered a stroke. He was told by his Doctor to avoid stress if he returned to work at a builders merchants.  The claimant was dismissed because his manager said the any jobs within the company were stressful.  Having made a full recovery, the claimant won a disability discrimination case. He was awarded £ 400 000 because the employer failed to make reasonable adjustments based on the Doctor’s advice.
