no illness in itself is classed as a disability. Its how any illness affects a particular person that determines whether its disabling or not.

Speak to equality advisory support service they can advise on whether you would be classed as disabled. Its not as straightforward as some employers think they helped me recently. 0808 800 0082 good luck x
