Answers:
It is a disability but you do not have to inform your employer, only if it affects the job you do, otherwise keep it to yourself!. If you have to reduce the hours you work because of it then you can claim Disablement Working Allowance,I think it is now called Disablement Tax Credits, check it out!.

I suppose it depends on the severity!. My sons father has it and he is not disabled!. Although he has had major surgery and was very ill he had to take it as sick leave and not disability!.

edit- he does have to let employers know as it is a medical condition that can interfere with work!. He has flare ups and can require time off!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, itis a disability but you do not have to inform your employer unless it will interfere with your work!. Myself, I would keep it quiet until you have to tell them should that time come!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It is a disability, at least it is for one of my firends!. She has Chrons really badly and is collecting disability for it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
