:bye: Hiya!
What is your job interview for?? Good luck !!!
Do you feel you hms effects your ability to do the job? There are organisations that can provide equipment for your employer to have in your workplace that could help you, and depending on your circumstances you may be entitled to transport also to get to work.
Can you tell us a bit more about your job and what your concerns are then may be able to help you more

(I can't remember are you at college? if not I may move this post but will let you know if I do as you may get more replies) If you are at college/uni could you ask an advisor linked to the establishement at all? nonya

Hi N/Claire.... try having a look at this link it may help employment and disability

It may be worth having a look on this site also, Disability Rights Comission They have an email facility, however I don't know how long it takes to get a reply and also a helpline which I have used and found them to be extremely helpful.

Someone with the information at their fingertips may be able to help here, specifically with regard to part-time work as my battered old brain feels it should know but can't remember.

Em is right - let us know a little more about the job so we can help or try to in my case.

Good luck with the job by the way. Nonya

Personally I have always mentioned, since I was 16 and began working, that I have difficulties with my joints. That way the employer is fully aware that there will be problems and I can't get into trouble for witholding that kind of information.

I think, at the end of the day it is entirely up to you, but you may find that keeping any potential employer fully aware (and they're not allowed to refuse you the job on the grounds of HMS if you are able to do the job) is a lot easier to handle than being accused of faking illness if you should need a day or two off.
