A major disability survey has been released identifying the most common barriers towards daily life...

The Life Opportunities Survey by the Office for National Statistics asked 18,000 people about eight key areas of life to identify the most common "social barriers" they face...

One of the biggest issues that emerged from the survey is the effect of "anxiety and lack of confidence" on daily and common activities.

The results state that 19 in 100 adults with impairments cite "anxiety and lack of confidence" as a barrier to employment whereas this drops to only 4 in 100 for adults without impairments… The comprehensive study also looks at differences between adults with impairments and those without in a variety of situations such as work, home life and financial situations such as loan repayment.
