Concerns About Individuals with Disabilities Accessing Welfare Benefits
November 24, 2025
The disability movement criticizes that many people with disabilities are excluded from welfare benefits due to strict income criteria. The president of KYSOA, Themidha Anthopoulou, mentioned that the state excludes 50% of individuals with severe disabilities. Despite planned government policies, the approved funding is insufficient for actual needs. Income criteria have led to the loss of benefits for 12,000 individuals, severely impacting their lives. This exclusion is described as a violation of human rights.
