Do People with Disabilities Get Enough Support from the State?

There is an ongoing protest in the parliament building by adults with disabilities and their parent-carers. Among their demands is the bringing in of a physiotherapy allowance of 500 zloty a month, for people with disabilities over the age of 18 who are unable to live independently, and the raising of benefit (renta socjalna) for those completely unable to work because of a disability that started before they became economically active, to the level of the lowest disability benefit (renta z tytułu niezdolności do pracy) awarded to those completely unable to work and whose disability began after they had become economically active. Here is a reminder of the results of our research into the situation of people with disabilities.
An overwhelming majority of those surveyed were of the view that the support currently received from the state by people with disabilities and their families is inadequate. These opinions concerned the support received both by the families of children and by adults with disabilities. Those who were most sure of the inadequacy of this support were more likely to have had a university education, to be in the 25–34 age group and to be women rather than men. Such opinions were also more often expressed by respondents with left-wing or centrist political leanings, than by those who identified as right-wing or had no defined political views.
