Before I started the new job I filled out a health questionnaire and stated that I have previously suffered from anxiety which resulted in being signed off work.

I am less than 3 months into the new job and signed off with anxiety.

Do I have any protection because I already declared it?

I am worried they will sack me for performance or abscence

I am aware I have no statutory rights for disciplinary procedures as I haven't worked there for two years yet.

I have found out that you are only protected if your illness is classed as a disability and would be protected by the equality act
