A member asked:
Are allergies/anaphylactic reactions classed as a disability?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usually: Unless something interferes with your ability to perform normal activities or perform employment, you are not considered disabled. Severe asthma is probably one of the few conditions associated with "allergies" but allergies or anaphylaxis are usually not considered a disability.
