'Treated like a drama queen' | £4.6m payout for council worker sacked during Grenfell Tower PTSD battle

A council worker who lost her job during a battle with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) following the Grenfell Tower disaster has been awarded a record £4.6million by an employment tribunal.

Rachael Wright-Turner successfully sued the London Borough of Hammersmith for disability discrimination and harassment after being dismissed from her £125,000-a-year role in 2018, resulting in a six-year legal battle that has now resulted in the record compensation figure.
