Question 11140 — social policy

Summary

Mr. Loïc Prud'homme alerts the Minister of Solidarity and Health to a measure applied on June 1, 2018 which impacts the 230,000 people receiving disability pensions and victims of work who will no longer be able to benefit from the activity bonus. Disability pensioners in employment with low incomes could until now benefit from an activity bonus, like the rest of workers receiving less than 1,350 euros per month (for a single person without children). However, since June 1, in accordance with the finance law for 2018, the disability pension and the work accident and occupational disease pension (AT-MP) are no longer considered as earned income but as social benefits. This change deprives disability pensioners and victims of work carrying out a professional activity of this income supplement intended for workers with low resources. For the Government, benefiting from a disability pension is already such a luxury that the possibility of parallel allocation of an activity bonus must be excluded. The argument of the low recourse of potential beneficiaries, put forward to eliminate this income supplement (6,600 people have requested allocation of this device), is difficult to accept. Rather than removing a right, shouldn't the Government fight against non-recourse to rights? The Government has made improving the daily lives of people with disabilities a “priority” for the five-year term. However, behind this communication lie harmful measures which reduce the standard of living of people who have suffered from life's difficulties. Some people risk losing up to a third of their income even though they already benefit very low resources. He wants to know what she intends to do in the face of this unjust and discriminatory situation which places thousands of people, already vulnerable, in very precarious circumstances.
