If I am asked, then I would recommend revealing disability on CV itself, because even after knowing about your disability if the employer is willing to interview you, then I consider him as the person having some positiveness. Otherwise it is said na "let your head hit the walls, it is your head which is going to get hurted and not the wall"!
