Usually the disability questions are worded so openly that it is hard to argue in court that you don't have a disability affecting the tasks of the job.  There is all sorts of common law and precedent that you would be up against if you tried to hide T1 from an employer, especially for a driving job.It doesn't matter if you don't think T1 is a disability because any good lawyer can argue successfully that it is.  Employers have a right to honest disclosure on forms and courts are very good at enforcing this.Insurers are notorious for finding ways to avoid paying out on a claim. I wouldn't like to be in a position of paying a lawyer to argue against their lawyers.And there are more issues to consider here than just employment law.</blockquote>
