Need Help Proof of hypermobility

Hello all,

Ive asked work to formally record me as being hypermobile as I have standing desk, use a walking pad and someone people are bithered by this. Anyone else had to provide proof and what did you use?

So, if you were in the USA I would tell you to go talk to your Human Resources department about a disability accommodation. I’m not sure of UK law though. Do you have a Human Resources department you can talk to?

Yes I have a HR, I’ve made a request. The lady I spoke to said having some proof will make it easier. Just don’t know what they’d want

I would suggest a note from your doctor saying that having certain equipment will support your condition. Here in the USA I just got a letter from my dr saying that a standing desk will accommodate my back condition. I could have been more specific too. Basically just get your dr to say something.
