What the Equality Act says about Disability Discrimination
The Equality Act 2010 says that you must not be discriminated against because:
you have a disability
someone thinks you have a disability (this is known as discrimination by perception)
you are connected to someone with a disability (this is known as discrimination by association)
It is not unlawful discrimination to treat a disabled person more favourably than a non-disabled person.
