Just applied for a job as a Warehouse worker for Amazon, seasonal temporary work

Still not heard back from it yet, I'm assuming that like every other time, they've said no because I declared my health issues! Equal opportunities my arse, they just say that because they have to, they DON'T mean it.

I'm not trying to be an asshole, I'm very ignorant in this situation. Why do you have to declare that you have a disability?

Like I said in a topic on the main forum last week, I'm too honest, and also, I declare every time to test the company's equal opportunities policy, do they actually mean it or do they just trot out the "We are an equal opportunities employer" line because they legally have to?!

Also, it's supposed to be ILLEGAL to discriminate against the disabled under the terms of the 2010 Equality Act, but the problem is, they get away with it because under the current rules, the onus is on ME to prove discrimination when it happens, that's why the majority of cases never go anywhere because the majority of disabled people in the UK are on benefits, and therefore don't have the finances for big Court cases against even bigger companies.
