Under the Equality Act 2010, a disability is a physical or mental impairment that has a substantial and long-term adverse effect on your ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities. Employers must make reasonable adjustments to remove disadvantage — this could include adapted equipment, flexible hours, modified duties or a phased return from sick leave.
Direct discrimination, indirect discrimination, harassment and victimisation because of disability are all unlawful. There is no cap on compensation for disability discrimination claims at the employment tribunal. The Access to Work scheme provides government grants for workplace adaptations and support for disabled workers.
Key rights covered: reasonable adjustments, PIP entitlement, disability discrimination, Access to Work grants, dismissal protection, fit notes and occupational health. Verified against GOV.UK and ACAS.
