C. Disability 
The Disability Discrimination act (DDA) protects disabled people. The Act sets out the circumstances in which a person is ‘disabled’. It says you are disabled if you have: 
A mental or physical impairment that has an adverse effect on your ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities (meaning it has lasted 12 months, or is likely to last for 12 months or more) 
There are some special provisions, for example: 
If your disability has badly affected your ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities, but it doesn’t any more, it will still be counted as having that effect if it is likely to do so again 

If you have a progressive condition and it will badly affect your ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities in the future, it will be treated as having a bad effect on you now. 
Cancer, HIV infections, and multiple sclerosis are covered effectively from the point of diagnosis.  Past disabilities are covered. 

Taking this into consideration, do you consider yourself to have a disability?
