Equality Act 2010?

Above.

I've applied for various jobs since last week, via Indeed, and I keep getting rejected because I have to declare that due to disability and personal circumstances I can't do full time so they reject me out of hand.

Surely this is HIGHLY illegal under the above Act? Never mind the fact I've been saying for most of the last 13 years that the Act is largely token because the Tories don't and probably never will enforce it.

Thoughts?

I do have a job but for reasons beyond my control I never work, so I'm strongly considering packing it in.

There is always the question of "Capability." An employer can reject your application if they deem you incapable of performing the tasks required. Even if you are already in employment, you can be dismissed if you are found to be incapable of performing your duties, although the employer must demonstrate that they do not have a suitable position that you can fill before issuing your notice.
