There's also the choice of complying with the DDA.  If a company has the 
choice of employing someone with epilepsy that is controlled with medication 
or someone with a sensory loss, they can choose the less inconvenient choice 
and still comply with the DDA.

Yes but  it's illegal now, for employers to refuse to employ people on
grounds of disability.

The problem is how does  one show proof,  of discrimination?

If  2 people applied for a job at say RNIB, one is blind, one is sighted.
If the sighted person gets the job, does that mean the blind person has been
discriminated against. Maybe, but not always.

I employ  a male gardener.
So have i discriminated against  females!
