Sorry had problems logging in.
I cannot be sacked for being off sick, because I have been working for the last year and a half. I work part time and I am not paying for representation because I am not doing this for compensation or myself, I am doing it to change how they treat people.
But I'm aware I'm taking a risk and its a cause that's worth fighting for and would make a difference to a lot of people and I know I have the best case to win.

Yes I have legislations, laws and policies they have broken and all evidence of how.
They have just put completely irrelevant issues in the ET3 with the only purpose of trying to make me look bad. Either the judge will think I'm insane, or he'll see through their tricks and itl make them look stupid. hmm fingers crossed.

Haven't found much help. Citizens advice were rubbish. they offered me a free half hour with a local solicitor- I rang them and they said they didn't do employment law. went back to C advice and they said there was nothing else they could do to help me as it was too complicated. I kind of just want a bit of emotional support. The main thing is going to be whether I can keep a cool head and not freak out on the day.

Hang on one minute. You worked for them for a year and a half? If that is true then they certainly can dismiss you for being off sick - or almost any other reason, or none whatsoever. Less than two years employment and there's no right to claim unfair dismissal except for certain limited circumstances - which you haven't said actually apply.

What were you off sick for?

You need to work out what your case is. And stick to it.

So what is your case?

If you have been of sick regularly all they need to prove is that you are unfit to do your job and provide satisfactory service.

I asked here & was told that after more than 10 years service i could be sacked for taking 1 week off sick.

So based on this i think you could be sacked for taking longer for much less time served.

Just wondering if they mean that they have been working for a year and a half without being sick and that they were sacked for absence from before then.
