I hate being disabled and disability discrimination from work agencies and programs refusing to help me knowing full well I'm disabled since birth. Most of the time, I had to forcefully to omitted that I'm not disabled and autistic (despite I am) when it comes to employment. It's disgusting 😒😑

[@ferncurtis2437]

Thank you. I’m disabled and today I experienced discrimination at the Pandora store in Bicester Village (I wanted to buy a gift for my daughter). I have a walking stick and can’t stand for long at all (on some days I can’t walk). The manager was so rude and didn’t care that I needed to know a time when I could enter the store due to my disability. When I questioned her and asked why other people were being allowed in she told me she wouldn’t let me in at all. I travelled a 2 hour round trip and was treated like dirt. I’m exhausted and really feel so devastated by my experience.

[@nicholasgreaves3548]

I'm so sorry, I hope things can get better for you

[@ferncurtis2437]

Thank you…I put in a formal complaint and received an apology and a £75 gift voucher from the headquarters in Germany. I feel the experience strengthened me overall and it certainly educated the staff.

I was bullied all of 8th grade due to my Christianity and they wouldn't take into account my learning disability

[@invisableobserver]

The problem is that in every country, Acts are passed yet the Acts are not enforced so the disabled people still are discriminated against. If you are disabled and file a complaint for discrimination you will find that your discrimination will never find justice.

I have dyslexia, dyxcalcula, ADHD & memory impairment. I had to go to court to file for Child support for my 2 children, I requested accomodations when the hearing was finally coming up after 6 1/2 years. Due to my low income I could not afford an attorney & had to represent my self, I was told there was no accomodations for this type of Disability. After a virtual hearing I noticed they miscalculated child support for the years and number of children, I had to file a motion so they can correct there mistakes since there is a state guideline they go by can show where they made clerical mistakes & with my disability I could not correct at the moment. After I picked up the court notes is when it was obvious, it's been 7 months since this hearing I call to get updated in my motion with no resolve. I was told to file a new motion but why if they have not responded to the first one. The father has an attorney that must know this mistake benefits him. I have to now pay an attorney to recalculate what the court should have done with the correct information that was provided. This has caused me extreme financial hardship & emotional distress, Just knowing there are other like me or worst, to know they can be taken advantage of due to a disability really hurts.

I have not even read all of this but if you have disabilities you are entitled to support

[@theonlyyari]

@@nathanburnside8428 Thank you for responding. I had to Appeal the Order with a higher district & again no there are no accommodations & they need me to write an Initial Brief with Font compliance & a deadline, no pressure lol. It's wrong no matter how we see it. Father owed 12k he says he has paid his attorney 16k how is that right?

I am fairly new to your lovely country. I am looking through these videos to get an idea how to aid my friend of now nearly 15 years from here in UK. Yet the way I see medical staff treat my friend is in blatant violation of this law. There are however medical professionals there me and her have met that do try to help and and understanding. I respect the people from medical field who understands my friends problems and do try to help. But I have a problem with the medical "professionals" who call my friend liar and a attention seeker on her medical records and refuse to show her her own records. I come from Finland and I've had this same type of treatment with my minor medical problems. However to the point. I am thankful there being Brits like you making these videos for everyone of your lovely country. I have subscribed and will be checking more of your content. Good hunting (my way of wishing everything best and/or good good luck, in this case it'd be both considering the times we live in)

[@andreasconstantinou7108]

It's good to hear how the discriminating Act of 1995 through our legal system can be use in law to forward legal proceedings.

[@keiracurro8407]

It's difficult to fit in when you're reserved and have communication issues due to effects of autism which you can't help. Basically people try to tell you to look in their eyes, i had this not long ago from a mean Employment agency person who i complained to her manager about, i just find it abusive when they want to threaten you with control tactics when your naturally non compliant. (These people do Not understand even if you tell them) they use it against and still act bad because you refuse them But Stand your ground No matter what, Do not give in and Do Complain, these people are paid to help you Not be abusive.

My local council have refused me a Wet Room on a Lie. The OT came to assess me, I have psychogenic tremor, arthritis in both knees and I can't bath without pain - I can't kneel. I also have a narrowed Femoral artery and need an operation. I get disability allowance. The OT asked me, is it just about the bath? I said it was, I demonstrated the bath and the OT told me she had to see my bedroom - I told her it was just about the bath and said it was irrelevant as I had no problem with the bed, i.e I didn't have to climb into it or out of it. I received an email from social care Barnet informing me that I was not going to have a Wet Room because I REFUSED to demonstrate the Bath and Bed. Is this classed as discrimination? What Act have they breached?

[@cbsteffen]

I guess we individuals with disabilities more easily take damage on either the inside or outside than anyone else would. I once had stress for a long time that made it feel as if I had a boss with 200% armor for flesh that would mangle or break anything as well as fury for his only emotion and an ability to run too fast to get outrun and a tendency to get woken up even by the quietest noise which would keep him from sleeping more than 2 hours in any 24-hour period! People who don’t understand disabilities and get away with it might have 200% armor for flesh or mental behavior against anyone stupid or seemingly stupid!

The manager at our local restaurant has a big issue with the genetic disability that my brother and I both suffer with. We feel discriminated against as he has said that we have been given our final warning, suggesting that we will be banned soon. We have a genetic blood disorder, and he insists that we do not leave blood on a napkin or anywhere else. We are federally protected according to Americans with disabilities act, and he cannot require us to cleanup blood. The owner said that we can only visit the restaurant if we cleanup the blood as it is a biohazard safety concern which is not true since neither my brother nor I have any contagious diseases or transmittable infections. Other restaurants are familiar with our disability and have no issue at all with our bleeding disorder. The owner will not respond to any of my emails, so I had no choice but to post on their Facebook page but as a childish and cowedly act the owner banned me from their Facebook page.

My City and County does not allow "MY TYPE OF E BIKE" ----into their park..However, they allow "PEDAL ASSISTED" E bikes. into their parks....Both the City and County are in violation of the Americans with Disability Act..What would be the best way to approach both parties..?

Just had this happen to me, because of my back and medication for pain, I was denied being allowed to get certified. Ive been disabled for over 20 years and treating physician for numerous years said I was qualified, company said no, I appealed but hearing officer still says no because of treatment of my pain.

The fact that the ex PM David Cameron of the conservative Government discriminated against those who are vulnerable and impaled is not just that but it has violated the discriminating Act of 1995 which was brought in to legislation through the courts.

[@andreasconstantinou7108]

The policy that the ex PM David Cameron introduced in 1995 as to the bedroom Tax and this Tax that was specifically targeted against the most vulnerable in our society as to the old and infirm is another way of discrimination against the vulnerable in our society

i am looking for advice i was discriminated against for having a disability in school and it continued at other schools i also did not have rights to education and the schools violated my 504 plan and treated me terribly i also have proof of discrimination in my school records it started at a school called rosa parks interesting right a school named after a woman who stood up for equal rights i was abused by the school system and want to do something about it for myself and others because its not right this started at age 8 the school it started at got away with this along with the other schools that treated me differently and basically said that “i didnt need help with learning” as if i was lying about having a disability i was qualified for thats illegal and wrong and to try to paint a child as a narcissist and take away there rights to be successful its wrong. i even have proof that i brought up the discrimination when i was a child its in my school records they noted it as if i was just acting out there was no discussion about it and it wasnt addressed so now im a 20 year old with no education and because i met someone that lives in another school district i am currently living with i found a school and now have rights in another county if i didnt meet this man i wouldnt be able to get my diploma and peruse a career because my rights to be successful were being taken away they mentally abused me and even caused me to be suicidal at a young age my mom didnt care that things seemed off she never even realized how big of a deal this all was and barely advocated for me so she was not able to do a lawsuit about this and wouldn’t ever care to so im looking for help by myself and being my own advocate to get the justice i deserve if anyone has any opinions on what i can do to get a lawsuit let me know because i dont have the education to work i cant pay for a lawyer and i also need advice on how to get around the reporting date being passed i feel i should have the right to sue about this because it almost ruined my life because of what they did to me and also i did report this at a young age to my school so i dont really understand why that isnt enough to be accomidated to get the lawsuit its also noted in my school records that i was called “annoying” witch is part of the proof that i was being discriminated against unfortunately i cant post the other things they said because my post could get taken down but this is not okay at all and im hoping to get any advice on how to deal with this.

Really informative and useful as a based to develop a policy within our NGO . May I rise 2 questions? if People living with HIV in a manageable/ undetectable phase. Are they still automatically included within this act ? And in what spectrum/ limitation that people with substance use disorder (term by used the public health) is excluded? would be good if theres some best practice example of these policy. Thank you in advance

[@LivingDeadGurlXXX]

What if the government is the one doing the discrimination? I’m tired of not being able to “be with” “live with” or “marry” the father of my kids. It’s not fair that if I do they take away my insurance and I die. It’s not fair. I don’t want to be penalized for for living my life with the person I love. It’s soo expensive to keep me alive...it’s not fair! He can’t keep me alive with his earnings. This isn’t fair. I’m tired of hiding.

[@DeanRendar]

If requesting accommodations prompts others to act with a crab bucket mentality, those others who are letting emotions effect productivity of the company are the worse offender allowing their feelings, and degree of influence, to ruin a person who has to work beyond a typical person's expected level given their circumstance. Its petty, and indicative of the kind of worker they truly are to abuse their power unfairly the moment they had a better judgement situation in their hands where benefit of a doubt or compassion was being tested. I believe in the right to freedom of SPEECH in ones private life, but school, career, and business should be conducted like an open documentary to all characters accountable to all actions at all times. Discrimination because somethings seem easier if disabled labeled, is just wrong.
