You sure about that? Because I am covered under for the same thing although it has been on going for about 3 years that has caused many other leg problems.

The underlined bit is why you are covered.

Any and no conditions are covered under the EA (used to be called DDA). The qualifying factors are
You’re disabled under the Equality Act 2010 if you have a physical or mental impairment that has a ‘substantial’ and ‘long-term’ negative effect on your ability to do normal daily activities.
But normally Plantar Fasciitis is considered a minor condition because in most cases the treatment is successful and not usually long term.
