People think this only involves people who are seriously handicapped or in wheelchairs. In fact the definition is very wide...
- If you have some sort of mental or physical condition which affects your daily life, whether visible or hidden, you could be classed as "disabled".
- This includes many conditions such as epilepsy, diabetes, severe asthma, depression, high blood pressure or arthritis, and many others.
- Your employer might be unhappy with you taking time off, not being able to do certain tasks or being slower than the other workers. If that happens and you are sacked or demoted that could constitute discrimination.
- If the dismissal has something to do with discrimination then it would be unfair.
