Yes, that's true but there are UCAS classifications and it might be helpful
to record those as well in case you are ever asked for statistics as
assessment centres recently were. It seems you might also be wise to record
the DDA categories as well.

<< Hi Rachael
Could I suggest that instead of trying to determine particular people and
their impairment you focus on the barriers that your services may be
causing differing people. There is no "standardised" list of disabilities
because people are not standard. The DDA lists those disabilities which it
considers fall under the remit of the Act. A better type of survey would be
to identify barriers that you think may exist and test if this is the case,
such as "is the type face we use large enough and clear enough for you to
read?
Another thing to consider will be how accessible will you be making your
survey? In what alternative formats will you be creating it? How easy will
it be to complete?
Just some thoughts
