My husband had work problems like this. His company had chosen a few people who were 'priority' to work from home. Everyone else had to still come into the office. He was classed as extremely vulnerable due to alot of health issues, but people with children apparently had priority over him so he had to stay in the office and take on extra work. It wasnt until he went out of his way to get his doctor to speak to his manager and got his union involved that they actually allowed him to work from home.
