Job offer withdrawn after medical questionnaire?

[bristo]

Has anyone had a job offer withdrawn after medical checks? I'm newly graduated with a psychology degree. I managed to get a job as a support worker in a Cygnet mental health hospital. Have just completed the medical questionnaire check. I have EUPD/BPD and went through a period of illness from April to June. I'm worried that this will affect me taking up the job.

They're likely to contact you for further information, and possibly invite you for an appt with occupational health.

Do you have ongoing mental health support? Have you discussed the new job with them?

Thanks for your reply. I've actually been discharged from secondary care as I no longer need their help. I still regularly visit my GP but other than that I'm okay

They are probably so desperate for qualified staff I doubt that will put them off.

Isn't it likely that a lot of people have some MH problem in their history?

I guess my concern is that it is recent, but I am okay now and want to start working

Very unusual. If your condition falls within disability discrimination they have a duty to make reasonable adjustments and only If they cannot would they withdraw.

Would have to be fairly extreme though... think pilot who developed sight problems.
