Gibraltar Disability Society Concerned By Minister Bossano's Comments On Disability Benefits
Below follows a statement from the Gibraltar Disability Society on comments recently made in Parliament on Disability Benefits:
The Gibraltar Disability Society noted with interest the questions raised by Danny Feetham in Parliament at the end of June on the subject of Disability Benefit. On the question of whether Government was committed to reform of the benefit system, Minister Bossano raised a number of issues.
Most concerning was the huge rate of increase in claimants. The Society, back in 2012, warned the board of the Care Agency of the 1% increase in disabled births.
