Manic Depression/Bipolar disorder

[siddlem]

I was kicked out of a good corporate job two years ago for having this condition and have not worked for two years. I am now ready to work again as the right medication has been found at last, but no body wants me because of this. Any suggestions. The job centre have been crap!

They are not allowed to discriminate against you because of a disability. Maybe you should look for work in big companies who will have proper disability policies, such as the NHS- in fact, any big company! Are you sure this is why they don't want you? It might be asking an interviewer for feedback after the interview. They can't say this is the reason, anymore than they can say that it is because you are too old or too fat, but they could give you other reasons which you are not aware of.

You could try voluntary work for a few months, this would give you recent experience and a reference which would help you to get another (Paid) job. I don't think it affects your benefit entitlements, but check at the job centre.
