a lot of companies will automatically discipline you for sickness, even with valid evidence. My sister got disciplined for having a stroke. Although after that she did survive a redundancy cull they did afterwards, but nevetherless she is a step up the disciplinary table in her company.

Having to attend hospital once or twice a week is not a barrier to getting full time employment - any employer will allow you to make up the time.
The access to work scheme means that an employer will have no problem taking you on as the government will pay part of the cost of the specialist equipment to do so. Oddly though in all the interviews I've had a fair few have cited the reason they can't afford this as a reason for me not getting the job.
Then of course as I've mentioned elsewhere the job centre won't let me see the DEA now until I've been assessed for ESA.
But despite all this I'm still doing it all off my own back now, I would appreciate help from the government with it but it seems sadly lacking.
Does it stress me out ? Yep but there's nothing I can do about it so I plod on.
Now that Natalie lives with me I'm not on means tested benefits do I can do work from home like fixing pcs which is what I do a lot of.

I also work from home now, its probably the only way I can work. I even had to give up charity work I did as I couldnt fulfill my commitments.
Like yourself I found no help whatsoever from the government in obtaining work, it was all done of my own back, (and no martyh mandating people to do shelve stacking is not helping them find suitable work.)
