To co w UK uznaja za niepelnosprawnosc to tak naprawde wielka zagadka... Corka kolezanki stracila oko jak miala lat 2 (rak), ale wg "kogos" nie jest niepelnosprawna z jednym tylko okiem... Za to jak najbardziej niepelnosprawnym sie jest jak sie ma chorobe alkoholowa, tudziez jest grubym do granic mozliwosci...

You may get Disability Living Allowance if:
you have a physical or mental disability, or both
your disability is severe enough for you to need help caring for yourself or you have walking difficulties, or both
you are under 65 when you claim

The definition of ‘disability’ under the Equality Act 2010
In the Act, a person has a disability if:
they have a physical or mental impairment
the impairment has a substantial and long-term adverse effect on their ability to perform normal day-to-day activities
For the purposes of the Act, these words have the following meanings:
'substantial' means more than minor or trivial
'long-term' means that the effect of the impairment has lasted or is likely to last for at least twelve months (there are special rules covering recurring or fluctuating conditions)
'normal day-to-day activities' include everyday things like eating, washing, walking and going shopping
People who have had a disability in the past that meets this definition are also protected by the Act.
Progressive conditions considered to be a disability
There are additional provisions relating to people with progressive conditions. People with HIV, cancer or multiple sclerosis are protected by the Act from the point of diagnosis. People with some visual impairments are automatically deemed to be disabled.
Conditions that are specifically excluded
Some conditions are specifically excluded from being covered by the disability definition, such as a tendency to set fires or addictions to non–prescribed substances.

Nie kwestionuje slusznosci decyzji kogos tam, kwestionuje zasady na jakich podstawie sie niepelnosprawnosc ocenia... Wg mnie ktos z jednym okiem zasluguje na miano niepelnosprawnego bardziej niz alkoholik. Tyle...
