OP
Have a read and see if any of this applies to you.
https://www.equalityhumanrights.com/en/multipage-guide/employment-workplace-adjustments
Many of the adjustments your employer can make will not be particularly expensive, and they are not required to do more than it is reasonable for them to do. What is reasonable depends, among other factors, on the size and nature of your employer's organisation.
If, however,
you are a disabled worker, and
you can show that there were barriers your employer should have identified and reasonable adjustments your employer could have made, and
your employer does nothing
you can bring a claim against your employer in the Employment Tribunal, and your employer may be ordered to pay you compensation as well as make the reasonable adjustments. A failure to make reasonable adjustments counts as unlawful discrimination

Edit: Just because an employer has made 1 adjustment and its failed doesn't mean their duty has been fulfilled. And that's straight out of the legislation.
I'm not sure you understand what legislation is. The links you give are advisory, and not "straight out of legislation".
The relevant legislation here is the Equality Act 2010. Your post is one very simplistic interpretation of it.0
