Many people with disabilities suffer from poverty. In order to make a living, people with a severe disability of 100 can apply for grants.
Frankfurt – According to the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis), almost eight million severely disabled people live in Germany. Just like single parents, migrants and, increasingly, pensioners, they are often affected by poverty, for example due to a lack of inclusion in the labour market. According to a report by the Ministry of Social Affairs, the risk of poverty among people with disabilities is 20 percent.
Severe disability of 100: Entitlement to a severely disabled person's pass and compensation for disadvantages
According to the definition of the Social Security Code, people are considered disabled if they suffer from "physical, mental, intellectual or sensory impairments" and can therefore only participate in social life to a limited extent. People who have a degree of more than 50 are considered severely disabled and are entitled to a severely disabled person's pass as well as certain "disadvantage compensation". These are regulated by the so-called Federal Supply Act.

A degree of disability of 100 represents the greatest possible severe disability. Those affected can apply for a classification of this grade at the pension office – this requires, among other things, a medical report. Anyone who is classified as severely disabled with a grade of 100 can apply to the state for special grants, benefits and tax relief. Up to 800 euros per month are possible.

Despite subsidies for severe disability of 100, those affected suffer from discrimination
Despite attempts to make the lives of those affected easier, for example with state subsidies, disabled people are discriminated against in our society. Especially in working life, people with severe disabilities do not have it easy. Women with disabilities in particular suffer from lower pay and hardly any opportunities for advancement, explains Christina Marx, spokeswoman for Aktion Mensch in an interview with fr.de. (tt)
