Do I have to disclose my disability in a job interview?

Question

Accepted Answer

When you’re applying for a job, you have to answer honestly if you’re asked about things relevant to your ability to do the job. If you’re not asked anything about relevant health conditions or impairments, you don’t have to say anything.
If it turns out that an impairment or condition that you didn’t mention (like a mental illness) affects your ability to do the job, your employer could have to deal with this as a performance issue, rather than dishonesty when applying for the job. They’d have to give you a chance to improve, offer training or other support, etc. They can’t fire you or otherwise discipline you for not telling them about the impairment.
