In connection with an incident that has come to light and concerns a cut-off of an allowance to a severely disabled person, the Deputy Ministry of Social Welfare clarifies that this is not a cut-off of benefits from the Department for the Social Integration of Persons with Disabilities, but rather a suspension of the EID for the purpose of investigating an issue that has arisen in relation to criteria governing the EID.
In order to protect the privacy of the individual concerned, no details are provided, but it is emphasised that benefits relating to severe mobility impairment and paraplegic care were not cut off.
With regard to the SSI benefit, it is clarified that there are specific criteria under the Law, which the Welfare Benefit Administration Service (WDA) of the Ministry of State for Social Welfare has to apply.
In this particular case, as the person in question was informed by an officer of the YDEP, the investigation will be carried out as soon as possible and will be given priority, as is always the case for persons with disabilities.
