It also includes anyone who has an impairment which is likely to develop over time such as cancer, multiple sclerosis, or someone living with HIV or AIDS.
Mental impairment includes learning disabilities and mental illnesses.People whose impairments are controlled, corrected or adjusted by medication or appliances are covered by the DDA, as are those who have had a disability in the past but have since recovered.
2. The impairment has got to last, or be expected to last, at least 12 months. a person with a broken leg who is only temporarily disabled would not be
covered. a person who has had an impairment, which may happen again, is covered.
