Disclosure?

Hi, I'm in the process of being made redundant and I'm a bit worried about disclosing my m.s on application forms for new jobs. My ms nurse is confident that the disability discrimination act should ensure there wouldn't be discrimination and tells me I need to disclose that I have it. Just wondered if anyone has any advice or could tell me the implications of not disclosing? I've been working in my current job for 13 years and I'm really not looking forward to starting job search - I know it will be hard enough to get a new job!

Thanks, good advice. It was really whether or not you have to mention in first place. Maybe it's just a personal decision but my nurse was v adamant I had to disclose it

I wouldn't unless it affects job performance or is obviously noticeable. Just gives them a reason to not hire you. I would not trust the disability discrimination act.
