An office manager who was sacked after 18 years in the job when she asked for a new chair has been awarded a £23,000 payout, an employment tribunal heard.
Lynda Walker, who suffered with a hip problem for three years and was waiting for treatment, had to leave work for fourth months.
She had asked for a new chair as the one she had been using was not suitable because it "exacerbated her pain and discomfort", the hearing was told.
