Indirect discrimination occurs when policies, practices, or rules that seem neutral on the surface disproportionately disadvantage certain groups of people. Unlike direct discrimination, which explicitly targets individuals based on specific characteristics, indirect discrimination can be more challenging to recognize, as it may not be intentional or immediately obvious.
Direct discrimination, particularly concerning mental health issues and invisible disabilities such as auto-immune diseases, remains a significant challenge in systems such as PIP assessments. Addressing this issue requires a concerted effort to raise awareness, challenge biases, and implement fair and equitable policies that uphold the rights and dignity of all individuals, regardless of their disability status.

Just like ableism focuses on discrimination against people with disabilities, caregiver discrimination highlights the challenges and biases faced by those who take on caregiving responsibilities.

Ultimately, the issue of forcing chronically ill and disabled people into work goes beyond mere statistics – it speaks to the moral compass of a society and its commitment to upholding the rights and dignity of all its citizens.
The difficulty of proving OCD to PIP underscores the urgent need for systemic change within the welfare system. No individual should be subjected to disbelief, scrutiny, and humiliation when seeking support for a legitimate and debilitating mental health condition.
