Extend the time limit for making a claim under the Equality Act 2010

What the petition asks
If you have been discriminated against, you only have 6 months to take action, this time period should be extended. The discrimination I suffered affected my mental health which stopped me from taking action within the time frame. Discrimination affected my education and stopped me from graduating.
The government should extend the time limit to at least 3 years which is the same as personal injury. The reason why the government should do it is because the Equality Act is law and can only be changed by the government.
