Are all those with disabilities legally entitled to all the finance needed to support their living and inclusion in the community?
Equal numbers of countries, seven, provide either all, or none, of the finance needed support their living and inclusion in the community.
In the 21 other countries, together with California and New York state, the finance available is so either only to certain persons with disabilities, or it is limited, or even both (France).
Inadequacy is frequently mentioned as an issue. The nature of the support, qualification to receive the finance and difficulties in actually receiving finance were all issues noted by respondents.
With the current perilous state of the world’s economy, the risks of cuts in such finance (however limited it may be) in all countries become ever greater.
All persons with disabilities are legally entitled to receive all the finance needed to support their living and inclusion in the community.
Such finance, although mandated by law, is either not available to all, or is limited in extent.
No person with disabilities is legally entitled to any such finance.
