This is a terrible idea. Agoraphobia is a disorder. Like alcohol use disorder.
Not a disability.
Really, then explain why it's recognized as a disability especially under federal disability laws?
People who suffer from agoraphobia may be eligible for SSDI benefits if their condition interferes with their ability to work. Sufferers are evaluated in the same way as individuals who suffer from panic attacks
You can get disability payments for all sorts of shit that the medical community does not classify as a disability.
You can do something about agoraphobia.
You can't give a blind person sight, or remove cerebral palsy.
You also have to be disabled for more than a year, with proof, before they'll even let you apply. Or have proof it'll last longer than a year.
It's not a lack of respect. Things like agoraphobia,obesity,addictions etc can be classed as a disability. But there is also insurmountable evidence that they can be cured. Society doesn't work the way you would like by just accepting these conditions as incurable and then catering to them.
Not that you shouldn't have sympathy for these people but a business is not going to cater for them unless maybe the agoraphobia is linked to something like autism.
