UTAA Equality Act – The applicants, who suffer from mental health problems, brought their claims for judicial review under the Equality Act 2010 (‘the Equality Act’) asserting that they were placed at a substantial disadvantage in comparison to claimants and recipients of Employment and Support Allowance (‘ESA’) who did not suffer from mental health problems in relation to (i) the processes of assessment and re-assessment for continuing entitlement to that benefit or, alternatively (ii) the process of assessing whether an existing entitlement to Incapacity Benefit would continue as an award of ESA.
