Comments on: Is sleep apnoea covered by the Disability Discrimination Act 1995? http://sleepapnea-causes.com/is-sleep-apnoea-covered-by-the-disability-discrimination-act-1995.html Symptoms, causes, and treatment of central and obstructive sleep apnea Wed, 26 Aug 2009 22:17:36 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: JZD http://sleepapnea-causes.com/is-sleep-apnoea-covered-by-the-disability-discrimination-act-1995.html/comment-page-1#comment-131 JZD Tue, 16 Jun 2009 04:41:45 +0000 http://sleepapnea-causes.com/is-sleep-apnoea-covered-by-the-disability-discrimination-act-1995.html#comment-131 I'm not aware that there has been a specific decision on this condition, but as with all conditions, it's a matter of fact and degree. Two principal criteria: 1. Is it likely to persist for a year or more? 2. Does it have a substantial adverse affect on the sufferer and his/her ability to work? If so, it may well come within the DDA. Sleep aponea is usually a symptom of stress or anxiety. Edit: At the level you are suffering from the condition, it undoubtedly comes within the DDA definition.

Unless your job somehow relates to sleeping, the fact that you have apnea wouldn't effect your job. Is there something else going on here?
