Does it make a difference to my payments under the settlement agreement if I am disabled?

If you are disabled then the value of your claim may be greater (than if you were not disabled) because:

  • It may be more difficult for you to find ‘conducive’ new employment, and this would therefore mean that the value of any compensation paid to you would have to be larger (in order to compensate you for the extra time out of work);
  • If you are disabled then you may be able to assert a disability discrimination claim, which may mean that the overall value of your potential Employment Tribunal claim is higher;
  • You may be able to claim a greater proportion of the sum that you are paid as a tax-free payment
