Disability activist Niamh Herbert from Sallins recently told Kfm how uncertainty around the Government’s Green Paper on Disability Reform caused a lot of stress for individuals with a disability.
The government has decided to crap its Green Paper on disability reform following extensive criticism from advocacy groups.
Social Protection Minister Heather Humphreys has acknowledged "significant concerns" regarding the proposed reforms outlined in the document.
Originally drafted by the Minister's Department, the paper suggested restructuring long-term disability benefits through the implementation of a three-tiered system.
This system would have determined payment levels based on the severity of the disability, the associated limitations, and the individual's perceived capacity for employment.
