Re:Fake Cover Letters Expose Discrimination Against Disabled by DanBC on Tuesday November 03, 2015 @08:40AM (#10499433)
A spinal cord injury has some relevance - is the location of the interview going to be accessible? Is the location of the job going to be accessible? Here the candidate is going out of their way to give potentially useful information to the employer. It's weird (and illegal) to use that against them.

Also, some places have recognised that they have bias, and they've put in place some system to reduce it. See, for example, the "two ticks" scheme in the UK.
