Medical/tax relief q
Discussion
An employer has certain obligations under the equality act towards disabled people, this includes dyslexia and may be required to pay for a test and costs of meeting any criteria deemed necessary. Thus for a self employed person this becomes a tax deductable business expense.
Is the same true for ADHD, if said condition is suspected to be affecting work perfomance
I'm aware more general medical stuff is not tax deductible.

Thanks for replies, perhaps I'll try another angle
If a person is suffering effects believed to be ADHD, 3 clinician's (2 NHS Inc GP and one private) all concur, person is current experiencing issues affecting their ability to work safety, and NHS assessment service is measured in years. Private assessment is many hundreds of £.
Could a private assessment be reasonable for an employer to provide and write off as a business cost?

What is the purpose of the assessment? Is it to identify adjustments needed for the Employee to help them carry out their role?
For example - when a person is diagnosed with a physical disability we normally ask a suitably qualified OH person to carry out an assessment on them and their working environment to try and identify what adjustments we should make in order to make things easier for them. we pay for the assessment, then we pay for any equipment which may be required.

An assessment is mandatory before any medication can be prescribed.
