Why have postal delays, timeframes and Covid caused stoppages not been taken into consideration when | live remotely in Australia which have severely impacted my ability to meet any deadlines on time. | have been discriminated against by my former employer United Healthcare due to my disability after working for them for 5 years and | would like this case to be reinvestigated to change the system so it protects and works for the greater good of the disabled communities across the United States of America and in my particular case, why was my employer allowed to discriminate against me.
