    No. Although the definition of ALN borrows the meaning of “disability” from the EqA2010, the statutory regimes under ALNET and EquA 2010 are separate: RB v Calderdale MBC (SEN) [2022] UKUT 136 (AAC) para 46-49.

    However, the ETW also has jurisdiction to hear some disability discrimination claims under s.116(1)(b) EquA 2010.
