The Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) says that it is unlawful for an employer to discriminate against you if you are disabled:
• in the terms of employment offered;
• in the opportunities for promotion, transfer, training or receiving any other benefit;
• by refusing to offer you, or deliberately not offering, any such opportunity; or
• by dismissing you, or subjecting you to any other negative treatment.
