[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1231216, member: 32394"] You are disabled under the equality act and so should get reasonable adjustments. The default position is that allowing paid time off for medical appointments for someone with a disability is a reasonable adjustment. However, there may be some specific circumstances where that adjustment just isn't reasonable and I don't know if your position might fall into one of those sorts of circumstances. If not paid, you should be able to take as unpaid leave instead so that you can actually make the appointment. I think I'd be asking HR if they had considered reasonable adjustments under the equality act and if the adjustments arent reasonable, why not.
