Correct answer: B — Multiple sclerosis is treated as a disability from diagnosis under the Equality Act 2010
The best answer is “Multiple sclerosis is treated as a disability from diagnosis under the Equality Act 2010”. Schedule 1 treats multiple sclerosis as a disability from diagnosis; adjustment duties depend on reasonableness and the employment context. “Protection begins only when the person uses a wheelchair” is plausible in a different neurological context, but the decisive findings here argue against it. “The Equality Act excludes progressive neurological disorders” is plausible in a different neurological context, but the decisive findings here argue against it. “Only union membership creates a right to adjustments” is plausible in a different neurological context, but the decisive findings here argue against it. “Employment must end once walking aids are needed” is plausible in a different neurological context, but the decisive findings here argue against it.
