Disabilities
To work out if you’re disabled under the Equality Act, you need to check if:
​
-
You have ‘an impairment’ - this means your physical or mental abilities are different or reduced in some way compared to most people
-
Your impairment makes it harder to do everyday activities
-
The effect of your impairment is long-term
The Equality Act’s definition of disability is quite wide so you might be considered disabled under the Equality Act even if you don’t see yourself as disabled - for example if you’re autistic or if you have ADHD or a long-term injury.
