Hi @Andre2 welcome to the community! Disability has a whole range of meanings. For me, disability is an illness or a group of illnesses which prevent you from carrying out daily activities on a regular/daily basis. I'm sure members of our community will share their thoughts too. Let us know if we can help you further0

Hi @Andre2 and welcomeIn theory a disability is any physical or mental condition that prevents you from doing the same things as someone that does not have that or any other condition ie. fit and healthy.Whether a condition or disability is considered for the purpose of claiming benefit will depend on how it affects your functionality and or mobility0
