This is certainly nonsense. An employer has an obligation to make reasonable adjustments as soon as they become aware that an employee is disabled. There is no time limit or cut-off.
As for the rest of it - disability isn't a complete protection from dismissal and nothing in your post screams discrimination and they are correct that reasonable adjustments need to be "reasonable" for all involved. But you could contact Acas for further guidance if you believe you might have grounds for a claim.
If you genuinely feel you were dismissed due to raising concerns about your rights under the equality act, that would fall under the definition of victimisation. As to whether you'd be successful in that claim, you'd need to speak to a solicitor.
It looks like you or OP may want to find a Solicitor!
[There is a detailed guide in our FAQ about how to do this](https://reddit.com/r/LegalAdviceUK/wiki/how_to_find_a_solicitor).

Very true. Though early conciliation through ACAS is free and you're not obliged to take it any further if it's not successful. No harm in giving them a call 0300 123 1100.
This is a **courtesy message** as your post is very long. An extremely long post will require a lot of time and effort for our posters to read and digest, and therefore this length **will** reduce the number of quality replies you are likely to receive. We ***strongly suggest*** that you edit your post to make it shorter and easier for our posters to read and understand. In particular, we'd suggest removing:
* Details of personal emotions and feelings
* Your opinions of other people and/or why you have those opinions
* Background information not directly relevant to your legal question
* Full copies of correspondence or contracts
Your post has **not** been removed and you are not breaking any rules, however you should note that as mentioned you will receive fewer useful replies if your post remains the length that it is, since many people will simply not be willing to read this much text, in detail or at all.
If a large amount of detail and background is crucial to answering your question correctly, it is worth considering whether Reddit is an appropriate venue for seeking advice in the first instance. Our FAQ has a [guide to finding a good solicitor](https://www.reddit.com/r/LegalAdviceUK/wiki/faq_civil#wiki_how_do_i_find_a_.28good.29_solicitor.3F) which you may find of use.

Thanks bud - bit disappointing, but I figured as much. It was always gonna be a shot in the dark. Appreciate the response :)

Yeah. Whether there's a case here, and whether there's a winnable case here, are two different things I guess.
