Phone 1st thing in the morning and i'm nearly sure you can fill it in while on the phone,i'm sure others on here have done it.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

I don't know whether you can do it over the phone or not. But if I remember correctly, you have 3 days to fill it in. You could always go into work to fill it in, and then go Home again. At least it'd give your DOM the chance to see for him/herself that you're unable to walk properly. :hmmmm
