Question 13952 — people with disabilities

Summary

Ms. Anaïs Belouassa-Cherifi questions the Minister Delegate to the Minister of Health, Families, Autonomy and Disabled People, responsible for autonomy and disabled people, on the experimentation since March 1, 2026 and in five departments of a new application form from departmental centers for disabled people (MDPH). Established in 2005, the MDPHs are one-stop shops intended to facilitate access to the rights of people with disabilities. They are today an essential link, but are largely weakened by budgetary constraints and the complexity of access to rights. With this in mind, the Government has undertaken a review of the MDPH application form, aiming in particular to shorten and “simplify” it. However, the deployment of this new form raises numerous fears, in particular by user associations, who alert the MP on this subject. The reduction of this form results in the reduction of spaces allowing the description of needs and numerous sections which make it possible to provide essential information about the life of the applicant. Thus, with this new form, the information given to the multidisciplinary evaluation teams will not reflect experiences lived accurately and will frequently lead to errors of assessment. Especially since applicants are not systematically heard during an interview by MDPH staff for access to their rights. This form also reduces the quantity and quality of information given to users about their rights, contributing to increasing non-recourse to rights. It also guides much less users in their request. Thus, only people who are “initiated” or who benefit from quality external support will be able to provide a well-informed file, while others will only be able to rely on themselves, without support, at the risk of losing their rights. Thus, the MP underlines that through this experiment, the priority of the Minister no longer seems to be the effectiveness of rights and a response to the needs of people, but only compliance with budgetary constraints. She believes that rather than preferring to reduce questionnaires, we should seek to improve them and better support users in their procedures. She therefore asks him if an end to the experiment is planned before its end, in order to limit the consequences that this questionnaire could have on the access to the rights of people with disabilities. She would also like to know if an increase in the resources allocated to the MDPHs is planned, in order to greatly improve their operation.
