| Zusammenfassung: | This report analyses some important cash and in-kind social protection provisions available to adult people with disabilities (i.e. people aged 18 or above). Disability-specific income support in Austria is in the first instance provided by three different instruments of social protection, namely invalidity pension and work incapacity pension, federal long-term care allowance, and increased family allowance (which in case of disability may be received without age limit). All of them – depending on the causes and timing of the appearance of disabilities – come with specific problems of accessibility and issues regarding the adequacy of benefit levels. |
