I was wondering whether the law, in the UK, protects people with disabilities from being discriminated against on a personal and individual basis.
For instance, if I was at home, and a flat-mate repeatedly refused to tailor their behaviour to my disability, would they be liable ot face discrimination charges?
I am asking whether the law operates to protect disabled people from discrimination by individuals, not just in transactions and employment.
Are people with Dyspraxia protected against discrimination?

In theory, yes we are protected from ALL discrimination, the DDA was put in place to make sure that we are treated fairly.
With regard your flat-mate, it would depend on the situation. In practise I dont feel that too much discrimination comes from individuals as such anyway./
