Last week, I started a new job. I got it through a recruitment agency. I love the job, and it's been going well.
I didn't negotiate on salary when I was offered the job, or holiday. Instead, I asked that it be confirmed that I could work from home occasionally, and they flexible hours were fine. The agency came back and said this was fine. I accepted, and started.
Today I've found out that actually none of this was discussed. I'm a bit lost as to what to do. I'm covering the right hours but not taking allocated breaks at the moment. I'm fine with that, but it may be an issue. Home working was big for me, because I'm disabled and need the extra days without a huge commute.
I didn't declare my disability on the medical sheet because it shouldn't effect my work, and wouldn't have if my hours were as agreed. I'm very worried about mentioning them during probation.
Do I arrange a meeting with HR and let on in confidence my issues? Speak to my manager again? I'm so upset today. I can't believe this has happened. I can't afford to lose my job but I would have accepted the other job had my negotiations been denied, as it'll really affect my health.
Any advice would be really appreciated.

It looks like the agency lied, so what do I do now?
