Post removed about people with mental health problems having to work from home?

[Bishopsgirl]

I posted on the above which was removed earlier today. Someone had kindly replied to my post (I wasn't the OP) and I'm just wondering what they were replying to me as I would welcome any advice on this subject. I don't know why the post was removed, the OP seemed genuine and it's a current issue that's affecting a lot of people with disabilities.

I’m wondering the same. How did it break talk guidelines? What are people allowed to talk about these days.

@Liquorish I had to come away from the thread as had to go out, so didn't see all the posts but I was following it as its something that could seriously affect my husband if it all goes ahead.

There seemed to be a few people being a bit rude saying she should just get a job. I wasn't surprised it was removed as I just felt that after the first few posts people seemed to have lost any sympathy and were telling op she needed to get a job, clearly something she was clearly terribly anxious about already. I think it must have been removed for fear of having a detrimental effect on her already fragile mental health.

Op already has poor mh and then people started jumping on the thread saying as a country we can't afford to have all these people with MH issues off work and kept on benefits long term. I personally felt it was turning a bit nasty in the tone of some of the posts. Maybe someone reported it.

@Babyroobs thanks for explaining why it was taken down.

@Bishopsgirl are you still looking for guidance/discussion on the point about people being forced to WFH?

@Bromptotoo yes, I'm concerned about my dh who currently claims PIP, UC and ESA Support group. He also has support workers provided by the local council twice a week as a result of a social care assessment and he is under the local community mental health team. I'm his full time carer and I'm concerned how these new rules, if they come in, would affect him. I'm also interested to know if these new changes would go ahead if Labour became the new government. I don't want to break any mumsnet guidelines etc and I wasn't the original poster of the previous thread, but really just grateful if anyone has any information.

I didn't see the original thread but this whole business about people with MH problems being made to work from home is so short sighted.
MH issues permeate every aspect of your life, and they certainly do not stop behind the doors of your own home.

I know it can seem a worrying thing to read about, but I am certain it is something that can not be made into some sort of policy anyway. Plus, a lot of work places are wanting their WFH staff to return to the office. WFH roles are highly sought after and are rarely entry level that someone who has been out of the work place for years could just apply for and get.
