What injuries covered by DDA

[music4essex]

Sorry if I have put this in the wrong subject forum

I am looking for a list of injuries covered undar DDA , I have been on the direct gov site and also put in our search but cannot seem to find it.

I need the info as I am filling out a final letter for PABS and I knew I had seen it on here as one of my injuries was mentioned and I wanted to put the proper title in

Thanks

As far as I know there isn't a list that specifies which injuries/conditions are covered by the old DDA and now the new Equality Act.

If I remember correctly the condition has to last or be expected to last a year, must be considered chronic, and have an affect on your daily life. It comes under section 6.

Disability Discrimination within the Equalirt Act 2010

Section 6 defined what a disability is a person (P) has a disability if P has a physical or mental impairment, and the impairment has a substantial and long-term adverse effect on P's ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities. Examples include cancer, diabetes, multiple sclerosis and heart conditions; hearing or sight impairments, or a significant mobility difficulty; and mental health conditions or learning difficulties.

Section 15 defines the type of discrimination that can arise from disability. A person (A) discriminates against a disabled person (B): if A treats B unfavorably because of something arising in consequence of B's disability, and A cannot show that the treatment is a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim. The discrimination does not apply if A shows that A did not know, and could not reasonably have been expected to know, that B had the disability. It is never unlawful to treat disabled pupils more favourable than non disabled pupils.

Finally Section 20 requires a duty to make reasonable adjustments. The first requirement is a requirement, where a provision, criterion or practice of A's puts a disabled person at a substantial disadvantage in relation to a relevant matter in comparison with persons who are not disabled, to take such steps as it is reasonable to have to take to avoid the disadvantage. The second requirement is a requirement, where a physical feature puts a disabled person at a substantial disadvantage in relation to a relevant matter in comparison with persons who are not disabled, to take such steps as it is reasonable to have to take to avoid the disadvantage. The third requirement is a requirement, where a disabled person would, but for the provision of an auxiliary aid, be put at a substantial disadvantage in relation to a relevant matter in comparison with persons who are not disabled, to take such steps as it is reasonable to have to take to provide the auxiliary aid.
