Job withdrawn

Already have a copy of this to take with me next Friday when they're letting me appeal my original OH decision
 
How very sad. Unfortunately some things you shouldn't do, I was banned from driving due to my diabetes and this limits every aspect of my life permanently. At 55 I find I have an accumulation of unfortunate experiences from not getting that job to she's drunk to she suffers anxiety when really it's just the physical manifestation of hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia particularly if it's acute. Any how if you search there will be something that is perfect for you..so don't give up and remember it's not you that's failed more often its that people have failed to understand or recognise the implications of diabetes. In your case yes probably HR didn't realise the problem given that particular role or job.
 
I would also get Drs letter. I volunteer as a safe worker on a historic tourist railway (Guard and Signalman) which is an operational role. I have to have a medical every year a copy of my pathology reports. The letter is a very specific wording for Australia anyway. If you can go armed with a satisfactory letter, it will be impossible for them to worm out of that excuse. If you have been seeing an Endo for your treatment that will be much better than a GP or hospital staff Dr.
Good luck and let us know how you go.
 
Your profile say you are a diet only Type 2 .. may I ask how that got you banned from driving? As someone in a similar situation I'm very interested and concerned.
 
Got the docs letter ready and armed for next Friday when they're letting me appeal my original OH decision
