I think Defence may find this hard to answer. What is a "disability"? Short sightedness? Asthma?

I know a young man who was dead keen to serve in the Army. But he had coleiac disease. He wouldn't been able to be deployed into a battlefield because of his gluten intolerance. Would turning him down be discriminatory?
