Disability grading system abolished
It is said that the disability rating system will be phased out from July this year. Disability ratings were created with the intention of providing differentiated welfare benefits, but it is said that they decided to abolish them because they could interfere with welfare benefits or lead to human rights violations. It is said that the grade, which was previously divided into grades 1 to 6, is divided into severe and mild disabilities. It is said that it was divided like this to ensure that the benefits that went to the existing 1-3 grades were maintained as they were.
Existing benefits such as transportation, telecommunications, utility bills, health insurance discounts and tax cuts, job and self-reliance support, etc. were applied differently depending on whether they belonged to grades 1-3 or 4-6, so there was no major confusion. Seems to. Here’s a look at transportation costs and discounts: There are benefits for people with disabilities on domestic flights. 장애 등급 혜택
Although each benefit is presented as a booklet, it is cumbersome to read each one individually, so today we will tell you how to search for benefits according to your disability level.
How to Find Disability Level Benefits 좋은뉴스
First, search for <Welfare for the Disabled in Seoul> and enter it.
The disabled welfare category will appear on the left. Click the third item, <Customized Welfare Service>.
Then, a window will appear where you can search for benefits according to age, gender, type of disability, and level of disability. We will arbitrarily conduct customized inquiries for welfare services. We searched for age over 18 years old, gender male, disability type respiratory, and disability grade 5. I was wondering if there is a lot of support for people with mild disabilities.
The benefits that people with grade 5 disabilities receive are more than you might think. There are six types of allowances: mild disability allowance, self-reliance loan, support for medical expenses for the disabled, support for diagnosis and examination fees when registering a disabled person, medical benefit for assistive devices for the disabled, and subsidy for living expenses for living facilities for the disabled.
If you want to know what kind of support is available in general, click on the desired item under the search box to check it out. I clicked on <Income support such as pension>, and many people are curious about the disability pension and mild disability allowance. People with severe disabilities of grades 1 to 3 receive a disability pension, and those with mild disabilities of grades 4 to 6 receive a mild disability allowance. When I clicked on the details, the mild disability allowance was only 20,000 won and 40,000 won.
