Extend Employment Tribinal limitation period for disability dscrimination.

Disabled Job Applicants are often refused employments on the basis of their disability. The current recourse to justice allows for 3 months from date of notice to institute a claim in the employment Tribunal. This is unfair to a shocked disabled job applicant. The government should allow 15 years.
