Dismissal - Appeal - Bullet Points
Discussion
Evening,
Quick summary:
Started work, few months into picked up an injury and informed manager who told me to see my own doc which i did, went back into work and informed manager my doc said what it was ,,, asked to see occy health and manager refused. Few months later and injury affected me so much had to go back to doctors due to pain waking me up at night, and he signed me off with various drugs and booked me into various tests (mri, nct and meeting with surgeon).
Fast forward to friday and get a letter saying Summary Dismissal (within 6 month probation period) due to sickness absence (with a few others but they are related to the absence).
So, i have been asked to appeal it and write a letter in "bullet points" on why that decision is wrong.
I need help (or at least pointers) into how to write the appeal.
Whilst i understand bullet points, just not how to write it into an appeal, having never done an appeal before.
Thanks

Its my right arm.
Never had any problems with it before.
Started working at place, and got Tennis Elbow (but in a nice latin word) numb hands (sumilar to carpel tunnel) and now looking at surgery because of it.
If i an lucky its going to be physio and needles, if not lucky its under the knife.
As to them getting rid of me, maybe, but i have my medical records and after seeing my doc managed to get to see occy health, so its all recorded other than the manager refusing me to see occy health.
As said, will go get proper advice.
And if appeal succeeds the i could go back to light duties and work my way back to the job/health.
Rather be working than on the sick and in pain after all.

So far had mri, nct, meeting with surgeon.
On co-codamol (of which never taken before) and doctor is looking at putting me on tramadol(?) due to pain waking me during night (3 times i woke last night with it).
Never had this injury before, never been to docs with it before. Due to the job (please see previous answers) i wont be saying what it is online as its a very specific job.
Again, thanks for all the help so far, letter typed up and sent.
If anything comes of the appeal i shall of course up date.
