The right of persons with disabilities to social protection 2015, para. 58
Párrafo
Paragraph text
Third, in the case of means-tested programmes, income thresholds are usually determined at the household level through direct means-testing or proxy means- testing. These instruments tend to overlook the extra cost of disability and, when it is considered, an individual assessment of personal and environmental factors affecting that cost is hardly ever made. Thus, persons with disabilities with higher support needs tend to be overlooked.
