Hello all.Thanks yo all who have taken the time to answer my quarry's.

This maybe a silly question ' but I would like to know if ATAXIA condition comes under disability?

[Elizabethtracy]

Yes I would say so

[slipsandtrips in reply to Elizabethtracy]

Thanks again, I am confused about what I should do about giving up work. That's why.

[suzie44na]

Thank you

I suspect the it’s the severity of the symptoms that would be the determining factor.

Dear slipsandtrips

Ataxia is a disability and is covered by the Equality Act 2010. There is no right and wrong as to if and when is the best time to stop work, indeed if you are struggling work there might be things that your employer could put in place to make things easier for you. These are called 'reasonable adjustments'. I would advise contacting the Helpline at Ataxia UK who are able to give advice around employment and also benefits that you may be able to access. The phone number 0800 995 6037 of the Helpline is or you can email [e-mail].
