Guide of Conditions relating to a Disability
In April 2012 the DWP replaced the previous 'Disability Living Allowance Handbook' with guidance to help correlate conditions relating to a disability.
The guide provides signposting to the specific NHS Choices and other DWP webpages for more detail about a condition.

To view a condition, simply type the word into the “Find” or “Search”.
Note: only some conditions are covered as a disability under the Equality Act, such as someone who has an addiction is only covered in having a disability if the addiction results in an impairment e.g. addicted to alcohol results in depression or liver damage.
