Overview
This page explains disability discrimination claims in plain English, including disability status, knowledge, and workplace treatment issues.
Common examples
- Disciplinary or attendance action linked to disability-related absence or symptoms.
- Less favourable treatment after disclosure of a condition or impairment.
- Disputes about whether the employer knew, or should have known, about the disability.
What tribunals often look at
- Whether the legal disability definition is met on the evidence.
- What the employer knew and when.
- Whether the treatment complained of was linked to the disability or something arising from it.
Timing note
Medical chronology, disclosure dates, and workplace response timeline often matter significantly.
