Equality Act 2010 Disclosure for employm
Hi I could do with some help please! I am filling out a job application and it asks "Do you have a disability as defined by EA 2010?" I can say yes, no or refused. I am cautious about this. I have had benign MS for 20 years and temporal lobe epilepsy for 5 (caused by demyelinating lesions). I have no physical disability and no relapses unless you call the TLE a relapse? Am I obliged to disclose all my history. I don't want to open a can of worms here. Any advice would be most welcome please.
I am medicated for TLE btw but not MS
You don’t have to tell thembut they can’t turn you away just because you tick yes.if you feel like you can handle the job and do it to a great standard then go for it, I told my job about my disability and it’s never been an issue if anything they always ask if I’m alright and if I need a break.
