What is Disability?
what is disability and what is not? Disability as a legal and social issue has an enormous impact on how we live our lives, and how we spend our tax money: what matters most to us as individuals? The main types of illness and disability in the UK, and their legal rights, come from three interlinked categories: “medical” illness, “social incapacity” (including such medical incapacity as old age and disability), and “disability”. The definition of disability is far from straightforward, and this piece of work sets out the legal and social issues that matter most to us, whether you are a young adult with an illness or condition that interferes with your daily life, or a senior citizen who has an illness or disability caused by a past injury, or who is permanently unfit to work.
Medical and social incapacity as legal rights
Doctors and nurses are legally obliged to refer someone as disabled to social security services, because “being under medical and/or social incapacity is a disability”. According to the Social Security Act 2006, people of full-blown medical incapacity are entitled to receive state benefits and state pensions. In full-blown social incapacity, old-age benefits and disability living arrangements can replace the living costs of ordinary living. Both forms of incapacity are also the basis of the statutory carer’s allowance: “inability to meet the needs of the person concerned means that that person must receive a carer’s allowance”.

Examples of disabilities, and definitions of disability in the UK
In the UK now disability is primarily defined in the legal context of ‘impairment’ which is a legal concept relating to the rights of individuals when accessing goods and services. As most disabilities are not visible (not the result of a visible external cause), there is a general lack of recognition of them by the population.
In a country where many people live close to or alongside disabilities, we expect there to be more awareness of their existence, and we also expect the government to have more in-depth understanding of and greater access to the lives of more people with disabilities.
As well as the law, there are many other factors that can be used to determine if a person is disabled. This article looks at definitions of disability in the UK, and examples of what those definitions are and how they relate to the real people with disabilities.
