My claim against an employer that refused me a guaranteed interview for disabled people was accepted by an employment tribunal!

This is my first time doing this, and I asked for 6 months of full time wages which is about £9600.

I might not even get close to that much, but that's what one of the employment solicitors said I could claim.

Its voluntary for employers to opt into the scheme, but once they do they have to do what it says. Its called 'Positive about disability / disabled people', and once an employer opts in they are listed as a 'positive about disability' employer, and get to advertise this with a logo.

So the employer CHOOSES to opt into and advertise that they are a 'positive about disability' employer for street cred, this just means they have to guarantee interviews for disabled applicants, they dont have to give you a job after.

During the job application, there was an option for 'Are you applying for a guaranteed interview under the positive about disability scheme?', and I selected yes.

They still didnt give me an interview. So now I get money.

So its not that I am doing anything 'entitled', I am suing for not getting what the employer advertised as a member of the 'positive about disabled' scheme. If they didnt want to give me an interview they never should have opted into the scheme in the first place.

Alright fair enough. I apologize for overreacting.

So are you going to unban me from wherever you banned me from?
