A big mistake that Claimants usually do is to not keep an accurate record of their job search. They think its acceptable to sit at home and rack up time off. If they cant prove, and show evidence of mitigation then the Employers representative will take them to pieces during the remedy hearing. <a>Employment Law Manchester</a> Nice article.

At the very least, you will need to provide a letter from your GP. In cases of prolonged incapacity, a medical report will probably be necessary. A particularly rigourous approach needs to be taken if your employer was to blame for your incapacity. For example, in a discrimination case you may say that sexual harassment resulted in you being incapable of work because it has led to clinical depression. You will need medical evidence to show, both that you suffered from clinical depression such that you were unable to work and that this was caused by the harassment. This will mean obtaining a medical report from a specialist.
