End 'ADHD tax' Waive late fees for neurodivergent people under Equality Act 2010
ND individuals face fines, late fees + penalties because they struggle to manage administrative deadlines, often due to executive dysfunction. This unfair burden, commonly referred to as the “ADHD Tax,” compounds existing financial disadvantages + disproportionately penalises vulnerable UK residents
Neurodivergent individuals often face lower lifetime earnings, higher debt rates, and increased financial penalties due to executive dysfunction.
These fines are not due to neglect or intent to avoid obligations—they result from systemic barriers that exacerbate financial inequality.
Enacting this reform would reduce discrimination, align with Equality Act principles, and offer practical support to those facing hidden, avoidable costs.
