If the client has had the condition for more than 12 months & it has a substantial effect on their ability to carry out their daily activities it is likely to fall within the remit of the DDA but as you know the only people that can say for sure are the ET panel.

Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] Panic Attacks
Dear List,
Good Morning everyone! Could anyone advise me on whether panic attacks are
covered under DDA as I am seeing a client this morning and his manager would
like to know if his condition would be covered under DDA.
Thanks
Amanda Denton RGN
