    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 further :)

    Hi @Andre2 and welcome

    In 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 mobility

    Be all you can be, make  every day count. Namaste

    Hello @Andre2  Pleased to meet you welcome.

    Thank you for joining and your question.

    I am one of the team of community champions who advise, guide and help new members who join the forum.

    I would agree with my friends @Ami2301 and @CockneyRebel  who have given very clear definitions of what Disability means.

    Please have a look around our website. We are friendly, care and share.

    Please ask the community anything. Some one will know from our community or a member of our team.

    Please take care.
