Hi - do you have any links that describe achalasia as a disability?

Emjaye

Thanks, but it doesn't appear so to DWP, so I get on with looking after myself by myself. Thanks. Again. I'll continue to be apart of Scope and Thanks fir welcoming me.

Emjaye

I too would like to see that link because I have been searching, only my my workplace OH told me it's classified as a disability

Did you get any further with this? I have achalasia and it is incredibly disruptive to my life but due to it being so rare, it seems hard to convey the severity to DWP or my employer.
