Discrimination Claim Legal Guidance
Summary
When filing a discrimination claim, include all applicable types, such as direct, indirect, and discrimination arising from disability, to strengthen your case. Direct discrimination involves unfavorable treatment due to a protected characteristic, while indirect discrimination involves policies that disproportionately affect certain groups. Discrimination arising from disability occurs when unfavorable treatment is linked to a disability-related factor, like being on benefits. To prove indirect discrimination, identify the policy, its universal application, and its disproportionate impact on a protected group. Consider seeking legal advice for detailed guidance on structuring your claim.Full Conversation
if i am doing a discrimination claim and there is one act of discrimination that can be viewed as different types of discrimination (indirect, direct, etc.) then do I just chose the best fitting one or put all of them? how will it affect the claim
When making a discrimination claim, it’s generally best to include all possible types of discrimination that apply to your situation. This ensures that all angles are covered and gives the court a complete picture.
- Direct discrimination: Treating someone less favourably because of a protected characteristic.
- Indirect discrimination: A policy or practice that applies to everyone but disadvantages a particular group.
Including all relevant types can strengthen your claim. Would you like more detailed information on how to structure your claim?

if an estate agent didn't let me view a property because I was on benefits and those benefits were because I can't work due to disability, would that be direct discrimination?
Yes, that could be considered direct discrimination. Under the Equality Act *, it is unlawful to treat someone less favourably because of a protected characteristic, such as disability.

Is a policy stating "working persons only" direct discrimination towards those in receipt of Employment and Support Allowance?
Case Rating: *
A "working persons only" policy could potentially be considered indirect discrimination under the Equality Act *. This is because it disproportionately affects individuals who are unable to work due to disability and are receiving benefits such as Employment and Support Allowance.

so working people only policies aren't direct discrimination in this case?
Case Rating: *
A "working persons only" policy is more likely to be considered indirect discrimination because it disproportionately impacts individuals with disabilities who cannot work and are on benefits. Direct discrimination would involve treating someone unfavorably directly because of their disability.

ok so if i was on benefits because I was disabled, it's still unlikely to be direct disrimination?
Case Rating: *
Indirect discrimination is more likely in your scenario because a "working persons only" policy indirectly affects you due to your disability. However, if there is evidence that you were treated unfavourably *directly* because of your disability, it might be considered direct discrimination.

can you give an example of what direct discrimination in this case would look like? would it be as simple as saying 'no disabled people'?
Case Rating: *
Yes, direct discrimination could be as blatant as saying "no disabled people." It directly targets and treats individuals unfavourably because of their disability.

Another example of direct discrimination in this context would be an estate agent explicitly stating that they will not rent to you because you have a disability, regardless of any other factors.

can you give me an example of discrimination arising from disability in this situation?
Case Rating: *
Sure! An example of discrimination arising from disability in your situation could be:

ah ok so that wouldn't be failure to make reasonable adjustments?
Case Rating: *

In your case, the issue seems to be more about indirect discrimination and discrimination arising from disability.
