Wolff Parkinson White syndrome is something that many sufferers can live with, depending on symptoms.
However I can understand the concern if you drive for a living.
Are you currently signed off by your GP?
Does your employer have an occupational health service and are you being assessed by them?
You cannot be sacked without due process and you may be entitled to some benefits if you cannot work due to ill health or disability.
You need to contact your union rep asap and collect together all your letters and reports from hospital and gp.

Is it an HGV licence? There's very strict medical criteria for holding an HGV licence and I've seen several people have them revoked when diagnosed with a medical condition.

I would definitely be asking if there any other roles at your company you could move into? Unfortunately if it's only lorry driving it will be a requirement of your employment that your licence remains valid.

There have been a few employment tribunals similar to these circumstances. Is there any other suitable job available to you within your company?
