answer text <p>The Ministry of Defence recognises disability in Armed Forces personnel as part of a diverse workforce. However, the Armed Forces currently have a disability exemption from the Equality Act 2010 because of their requirement to achieve and maintain operational effectiveness, part of which rests on the need for all personnel to be interoperable and able to carry out a wide range of functions frequently at short notice. Disability declarations are therefore not required from Service personnel.</p> more like this
