  • “What legal power are you using?”

  • State that a process, rule or format creates a disability disadvantage.
  • Request a specific workable adjustment.
  • Ask for the response and reasons in writing.
  • Preserve receipts, messages, names, dates and screenshots.

  • Request the relevant policy and complaint route.
  • Ask who made the decision and on what basis.
  • Keep evidence of every adjustment request and refusal.
