Suing due to disability discrimination

stranger

Does anyone know how I'd go about this please? I know there's criteria, such as time limit, etc. which I'm well within.

In my case, (it has been mentioned on here before) I can't attend a college because they've denied me reasonable adjustments which have been recommended by 2 unis (and were followed by said unis) and a previous college followed the same recommendations.

They tried to justify their refusal by:

- deciding I don't have Autism (it's in writing that I have it)

- telling me I don't need those recommendations as recommended by 2 qualified disabled students allowance (DSA) providers

- telling me that I have equipment I can use which solves the issue. They don't solve the issue.

- telling me that people with severe physical disabilities don't get help (how is that legal?)

They claimed it was all down to money - that's their justification.

This has meant I'm going to have try and find somewhere much further away to continue my education, for which there really is nothing.

  • I've not applied yet. I wanted to see what support they'd give me before I applied.

    I've had to deal with this jobsworth before. She can't tell the difference between Dyslexia (which I've never been diagnosed with, nor has it ever been suggested) and visual impairment. That was after I supplied evidence, which states I'm known to social services as a visually impaired person.

    I never told them I don't have Autism. It's them who claim I don't have it. That was decided after seeing me for about 15 minutes.

    I do wonder how she got her job. She has no qualifications to my knowledge for which she can diagnose people with anxiety (which she told me I have and not Autism) and Dyslexia.
