@Bravo2zero doing service at the moment the down grading stops me doing front line work. My current post/rank will not change.
I would like to thank everyone for their support, and will let you all know what the outcome is post the 8th Dec.
@ickihun, @Robinredbreast, @Clivethedrive and @ellagy thanks for your word of support, i do have a back up plan of sorts, yes i am a little scared of the transition to civvy life as the military is all i have know since i was 16 and a half tears old, almost 29 years service lol.
Thanks again all for the kind word of support.
@delmcp Is your only stumbling block the fact your type1 or have you complications too?. As i had a brainwave and im sure they cannot sack u due to a disability but someone more qualified than i may intervien as its a fine line. I wish I was an expert in employment law but not. Would you not consider seeking their advice? I know this forum cannot give you legal advice but you definitely have time to seek some. Goodluck.@Bravo2zero my temp downgrading restricts me to uk only, i am currently in the uk.

Thanks @AndBreathe .Ickihun, it is perfectly legal for someone to be let go on the basis of disability, if after reasonable adjustments they are unable to perform the material duties of their job. There are various steps and processes to go through, but it is similar to someone being let go when they have repeated ill-health, requiring repeated periods away from work.
As I say, the devil's in the detail, but it can be perfectly legal, and sometimes the only option available to an employer.
Wow. Guess I better get off my 5m ladder I use for painting the windows at home.....! That one really does seem, well, odd!@tim2000s It is written in the MOD's medical publication as two of the limitations for someone with T1.
Tim I totally agree with you, but it did not stop me going up my ladder to the attic to get the Christmas decorations.Wow. Guess I better get off my 5m ladder I use for painting the windows at home.....! That one really does seem, well, odd!
