Hi guys,
Bit of a controversial topic!
I was just wondering, considering diabetes is considered a disability under the Equality Act, can we get disability discounts ie cheaper entry to attractions? If so, how can you prove that?
I’m certainly not saying that living with diabetes is comparable to some of the things other people have to live with. I was just wondering how it works.
Also, how could you prove that someone is a carer? Again, it might not feel like that’s an appropriate term, but my mum has been told re my dad’s epilepsy that she counts as a carer as she is always on the look out for a seizure. She said she was told it works the same with diabetes. I know my partner is always watching out for hypos!
I don’t mean to offend anyone. Just a wondering (mainly so I can afford to visit the zoo more!)
Thanks so much.
