Question 14138 — people with disabilities

Summary

Ms. Colette Capdevielle draws the attention of the Minister of Health, Families, Autonomy and Disabled People to the particularly worrying situation of people with disabilities when they retire and more specifically to the conditions of access to the accumulation between the Allowance for Disabled Adults (AAH) and the retirement pension. Today, retired people cannot benefit from the AAH in supplement to their retirement pension only subject to meeting strict conditions: proof of a permanent incapacity rate of at least 80% and receiving a retirement pension of less than 1,033.32 euros per month. This ceiling appears particularly low. Conversely, when a person is in professional activity, the resource ceilings allowing payment of the AAH are significantly higher. So, a person recognized disabled throughout their working life may lose the benefit of the AAH for the sole reason of their retirement, as if the disability disappeared with the cessation of professional activity. This break in treatment is all the more difficult to understand since the transition to retirement often leads to increased financial fragility. Retirees with disabilities must now shoulder the responsibility alone. cost of their complementary health insurance even though their medical needs generally increase with age. Furthermore, the current ceiling for the accumulation of AAH and retirement pension appears disconnected from current economic reality. In a context marked by lasting inflation in the cost of living, this threshold no longer makes it possible to guarantee dignified living conditions for the people concerned. Many of them fall into a precarious situation even though they remain permanently disabled. This situation raises a question about the coherence of public disability policy: should the principle of national solidarity be less protective in retirement than during working life? Consequently, she asks him if the Government plans to rectify this profound inequality by raising the ceiling of maximum resources for granting the AAH applicable to disabled retirees.
