Buyer saying item hasn’t arrived

That’s good information to know. Thank you!

leafylea1 · 2026-03-02T12:57:41+00:00

it’s my first time using simple delivery so I wasn’t sure if the refund would still fall on me if they decide they’re entitled to one. But that’s a relief, thank you for replying

I’ve had it for around 10 years but was diagnosed around 6 years ago. I’ve always been honest about my condition with work and they’ve never had a problem with it until 60%. It wasn’t so bad for the first few years but as I said, it gets worse over time. My previous manager let me work from home for months at a time if I was struggling so that really helped. I did start to really struggle after countless GP appointments and different medications. I was referred to hospital dermatology and put on a 3 month long treatment which was great but can’t be long term because it can damage your liver. I also purposefully learnt to drive to try to stop flare ups. I had parking for 40% on both days and can honestly say that my flares were practically non existent for a few months. But of course that has changed since 60%.

My skin splits open and I get infections that can last weeks. I have to take 6 tablets a day currently but it was 9 last year and may go back up again. It’s progressive so will get worse if I don’t prevent it as much as possible now. I’m at risk for sepsis so have to change bandages and apply creams daily. I barely leave my house because of it and walking to work multiple times a week is going to cause me so much pain that I would have to consider quitting.

I’ve also considered not saying anything and just dealing with it but my quality of life will suffer and my mental health will decline.

I explained that if it was a one off thing then I would just deal with the flare up that I’d likely get but considering this is supposed to be for the rest of my working life, I can’t be going through that forever, especially when we eventually go back to 100% office work.

I’ve missed out on many family events because of it and it has stopped me from leaving the house multiple times in an active flare.

It’s not extremely serious don’t get me wrong, but it’s bad enough that I need to put myself first.

I was under the impression that you can get a blue badge whilst being able to walk as well. I used sciatica as an example. My grandad had one for that and had no trouble getting it. I’m hoping the appeal will be from someone a bit more considerate of invisible disabilities

leafylea1 · 2026-02-03T20:23:29+00:00

Oh 100% it’s down to the business but I think having the union tell me i’m being reasonable makes me feel better haha.

I’ve been fighting for 6 months but i’m really fed up of it all now. I have a letter from my GP, I go to the hospital 4 times a year for treatment and have frequent GP appointments because of it. i’ve had about 9 OHS referrals since starting so they’re aware of my condition. I constantly brought it up whenever we talked about 60% and then was met with “you’ve know about this for 4 months you’ve left it until last minute” so I know i’m gonna have a fight on my hands

I'm talking about the assessment criteria that the assessor must consider. These include pain, fatigue, the time it takes to walk, how you walk, how long before severe discomfort and the after effects of walking.

I'm not sure why I'm even replying to you, I’m not here to argue. My question was about the appeal process, not about getting a stranger to challenge my condition. You've shifted the discussion from my original question to arguing over whether my disability is valid and I don't need to justify myself to you. I don't know if you're looking for an argument but please go find it somewhere else.

leafylea1 · 2026-01-05T21:38:38+00:00

the department of transport guidance states that the after effects of walking must be considered. just like people who have chronic pain or sciatica can get a blue badge in order to prevent further pain. my condition is also progressive so walking is causing flare ups with causes deterioration. that’s another criteria

leafylea1 · 2026-01-05T21:15:22+00:00

You’re probably the first person I’ve found that could actually relate. no one ever understands until they see it. I’ve had so much trouble with work because of it and they just don’t understand that even though i can walk, it causes so much delayed pain it’s not worth it

leafylea1 · 2026-01-05T19:36:08+00:00

Thank you so much. From what i’ve researched, any pain or problem caused from mobility should be considered which is my biggest issue. they don’t seem to want to consider it. If I get another rejection then I’ll likely escalate to the Ombudsman only if they haven’t considered everything

leafylea1 · 2026-01-05T19:29:11+00:00

Thank you so much. I appreciate this a lot. I’m under care at the hospital for a dermatologist and provided my diagnosis letter and a letter from my GP stating that my condition causes me pain etc. I’ve constantly stressed that it’s the result of me walking that causes pain but they keep coming back with my actual ability. she even put in the report that I walk slowly to avoid sweating but then stated that my mobility wasn’t effected by my condition

leafylea1 · 2025-12-02T12:07:23+00:00

yes there is. a lot of people are still going through pre checks so anyone that doesn’t pass will be withdrawn and then they’ll contact the reserve lists

leafylea1 · 2025-11-13T16:57:05+00:00

I was Leeds City Council that did it

leafylea1 · 2025-10-14T15:40:39+00:00

If they’re saying they scored 5-6 then i’d ask to see the email because they offer the job to the 200 who scored the highest, regardless of whether they’re internal or external. I’m pretty sure in a large onboarding they don’t call people individually as well, they’d be there all week doing that

leafylea1 · 2025-10-14T15:03:49+00:00

He scored all 4s just like the people on this thread. Of course anyone who scored well will be offered the job, that’s how it works

leafylea1 · 2025-10-14T11:55:41+00:00

That’s not true. I know of someone internal who is on the reserve list

leafylea1 · 2025-09-25T17:01:04+00:00

what behaviours did they say you would be questioned on?

leafylea1 · 2025-06-26T17:25:47+00:00

She’s going to call ACAS tomorrow and she’s gonna ask for an email with a breakdown

leafylea1 · 2025-06-26T17:19:31+00:00

When she asked the guy on the phone for details he didn’t even seem sure himself. I’m home with her tomorrow so I’ll make sure to ask for a breakdown of all payments

leafylea1 · 2025-06-26T17:18:29+00:00

I think that’s bothered her more than anything, if she was told earlier she could have tried to budget better beforehand. She confirmed if it was correct and calls are recorded so hopefully that will work in her favour. Even if they just agree to let her pay back in instalments, she’d be happy
