Lucy:

By employing a jumped up Occupational Health Nurse lucy 
My Specialist and GP said that I was fit to go back to work 3 months before they sacked me. but these new fangled “return to work interviews” with the company nurse let them get away with it, and sack you because you cannot prove you can do your job
Thats what DHL did anyway 
Im glad they did

For any employer it is a “minefield”
Most dismissals in these cicumstances are flawed, and actually constitute unfair dismissal.
A good employment solicitor (and I may add, a couple of hundred quid will confirm that)
Sorry to hear that hitch. Good luck to hitch,
