It very much depends on the employer. My employer knows about my disability. They knew about it when they hired me, because I have a service dog. But I do my job well, I still work long hours, and I outperform others at work. I also take care of myself and take time off when I need it, and make sure my supervisor knows when my appointments are so I can schedule time around doctor's appointments. But I know I am lucky and that the nature of my work allows me to have a somewhat flexible schedule.
If you file a claim for disability with your work, the only people who should know about it are the HR people AND they shouldn't know the nature of the claim, only the insurance company will know that.
