Kelley Ryden Interview

just ......... ....... always cuts to the disabled!

The budget contains a real aggression to people with disabilities. Sign the appeal of the Fish!

The maneuver that Parliament is about to approve is the worst aggression in republican history, people with disabilities and their families. Contains discriminatory provisions of dubious constitutionality.

The maneuver raised to 85 the percentage of disability needed to get the monthly assistance. The enjoyment of the plan are provided two other conditions in addition to health: to be unemployed and registered unemployed and do not exceed the income ceiling Annual € 4408.95. A very low limit, then. The allowance is € 256.67 a month (2010 amount) for an annual total of € 3,336.71.

The maneuver, as amended by the Government creates a unlawful disparity between the military invalids: who has the "luck" of being affected by a single disease for which there is a disability of 74%, will have the ' monthly benefit even if it reaches 85% of disability. Who is affected, however, by two diseases or impairments, whose sum gives 80 percent, is not entitled to anything.

The maneuver sets new criteria for ottenere l’ indennità di accompagnamento che sono irraggiungibili se non ci si trova in stato vegetativo. Ci saranno dei nuovi esclusi : persone con sindrome di Down , persone che deambulano a fatica e tra mille difficoltà (amputati, poliomielitici), persone che riescono a guidare con adattamenti, probabilmente persone che lavorano, persone che riescono a vestirsi o a mangiare , ma che magari non sanno dove sono, chi sono, dove vanno.

CHIEDIAMO

1. l’abrogazione del comma 1 dell’articolo 10 del Decreto Legge 78/2010, e dei relativi emendamenti, providing for the raising to 85 the percentage of disability is necessary to obtain the partial allowance for the disabled;

2. cancellation or withdrawal of the amendment that the Government review the medico-legal requirements for granting an attendance allowance.
