Who am I?

My name is Alison. I worked for the Department for Work and Pensions. I am disabled, and I asked for the adjustments I needed to work safely.

After waiting nearly 18 months for reasonable adjustments and equipment required fro my disability, I as advised by my union took legal action against my employer for their failures.

As a consequence, Instead of support, I was placed on a monitoring process and later dismissed for a piece of AI system-generated data that did not belong to me, did not contain my name, and claimed I was somewhere I proved I was not.

The DWP submitted this same “evidence” three times in court and each version was different.

Summary

I brought a case to the Employment Tribunal for disability discrimination.

The Tribunal acknowledged that the DWP failed to make the reasonable adjustments I needed — which meets the legal definition of discrimination.

However, the Tribunal then:

Ignored the evidence I provided,

Dismissed the documented impact on my health and livelihood, and

Relied instead on false and conflicting evidence from the DWP, even where DWP's own evidence and witnesses contradicted one another.

I entered the Civil Service under the DWP’s Disability Confident Scheme, and allege serious fraud and misconduct within the Department for Work and Pensions following a successful internal investigation where DWP manager was found to have treated me unfairly and not follow the disability policies for employees.

I won claims for unlawful harassment and failure to make reasonable adjustments but lost on unfair dismissal.

During the proceedings, I uncovered that key evidence submitted by the DWP mid-hearing — a 113-page internal access report — was materially different from the 13-page dismissal document originally used to fire her. The longer document appeared only after she disproved allegations of out-of-hours system access, using metadata, social media livestream records, and location evidence.

The DWP’s explanation — that their systems run on “two timelines” — is unfounded and, Alison argues, points to deliberate post hoc fabrication. She also raises concerns over witness statement irregularities and a major GDPR breach, where documents filed in court contained the names and National Insurance numbers of over 300 Universal Credit claimants.

I am now seeking legal representation to pursue High Court action, civil claims, or criminal reporting and is determined to expose what she believes is a pattern of disabled employees being silenced through systemic abuse.As a result, the judgment does not reflect the truth of what happened whilst I was employed or the hearing itself.

This case is now before the Court of Appeal.

Call to Action

We are raising £250,000 to fund the legal representation required to challenge this decision at the Court of Appeal.

If successful, this case will help protect disabled workers across the UK from being dismissed, disbelieved, or ignored by employers and by the Justice system.

Please contribute if you can — and share this page now. Every share matters. You can follow my story over on Youtube where I share my experience of this entire process at The Justice Journals TV. And Where I do the deep dive on Publicly available policies that affect the rights of disabled people.

What are we trying to achieve?

This case is not just about me.

It is about stopping a pattern where:

Disabled workers request adjustments

Employers fail to provide them

Tribunals acknowledge discrimination happened

But refuse to provide a remedy

If this judgment stands, it becomes harder for every disabled person in the UK to get justice.

If we overturn it, we strengthen the Equality Act for everyone.

What is the next step in the case?

We are now preparing for the Court of Appeal, where the legal errors in the judgment — particularly the ignored evidence and reliance on incorrect and conflicting data — will be reviewed.

If required, the case will then proceed to Judicial Review in the High Court.

This is how systemic change is made.

How much are we raising and why?

We are raising £250.000 to cover:

Specialist counsel representation in the Court of Appeal, experienced barristers, solicitors and legal specialists are required.

Preparation of legal submissions and evidence analysis

Court fees and expert support if required

No funds go to personal compensation. This is public interest legal action.

BIG Thank you

Thank you for reading, supporting, sharing, and believing that justice should mean something especially to vulnerable people like disabled people that need it most.

Your support helps ensure that discrimination cannot simply be ignored.

And that those and those systems that ignore it or try to reproduce it as something else, are brought to the same legal scrutiny.
