Back problems. How to work?

MayDogsandCoffee

You’re disabled under the Equality Act 2010 if you have a physical or mental impairment that has a ‘substantial’ and ‘long-term’ negative effect on your ability to do normal daily activities. The back issues could be defined as disabled and therefore he has a protected characteristic and there could be reasonable adjustments put into place, easier when working for large employer who can re-arrange duties when he is having a flare up.

If you read back he has been all (employed, self employed, and subbie) and currently 'his employer isn't very happy'. The disability element can be taken into account for any future employment or training.
