2023 Government Report: Implementation of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities

This report summarizes the government's actions in 2023 for persons with disabilities. It covers changes in access to healthcare, education, the labor market, and benefits, including the introduction of a new support benefit. The report also shows progress in removing architectural and digital barriers in offices and transport.
Key points
Starting in 2024, adults with disabilities can receive a new support benefit, the amount of which depends on the level of support needed (from 40% to 220% of the social pension).
PFRON funding for Occupational Therapy Workshops (WTZ) and Vocational Activity Establishments (ZAZ) has been increased, translating into higher support for participants and employees.
In 2023, the 'Personal Assistant for a Person with a Disability' and 'Respite Care' programs, financed by the Solidarity Fund, were continued, providing direct assistance in daily life.
Changes to the construction law were introduced, mandating the design of changing rooms for adults with disabilities in new large public buildings.
The notice period required before a journey to receive assistance on the railway for persons with disabilities or reduced mobility was shortened from 48 to 24 hours.
