Disability discrimination and the law
This section will tell you a little more about your rights under the Disability Discrimination Act 2005.
The Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) is a set of laws written by the government and it basically tells people that disabled people should be treated fairly in all areas of life.

It’s hard to comment on your particular case so if you have any questions on how the DDA affects you, you should contact your local Citizens Advice Bureau or the Commission for Equality and Human Rights. You can find their details below or in our contacts section.

Sometimes it can be hard to see disability. Disabilities can be hidden. You might be able to walk and talk the same as everyone else but your ABI could be affecting you in ways people can’t see, like terrible headaches or problems with your memory. Your GP will be able to help if you are unsure if you have a disability.
