After five months I have the final update of my discipline case

It has been decided that the charge of gross misconduct was not warranted and I received a written warning.
I have now returned to work after five months absence with CH and Depression

On my return I was advised that the duration of my sick leave plus one other period of five days would earn me a formal warning
This has now been rescinded when they agreed that CH was covered by the DDA and no further action has been taken

Many thanks to my GP who has been great throughout my problems and also the Union who provided support and advice.

If you do have problems at work do make sure your employer and colleagues know of your condition.
Also contact your OHS and have your illness recorded, too many people see/ hear the word headache and dismiss it as a trifling inconvenience

That's if for now, but wanted to bring this thread up to date and most of all thank everyone for their kind words of support

Thanks for the update Rich!  Glad to hear it is resolved.  Keep your head up.  (No pun intended)
