Question 17101 — people with disabilities

Summary

Mr. Francis Chouat draws the attention of the Secretary of State, to the Prime Minister, responsible for disabled people to the conditions for payment of the Disabled Adult Allowance (AAH). Article L. 821-1 of the Social Security Code provides that the AAH is granted subject to conditions. This provision is likely to generate inequalities between people with disabilities in that the spouse's income is integrated in the calculation which makes it possible to determine eligibility for the AAH. The autonomy of people with disabilities is one of the priorities of the State Secretariat to the Prime Minister responsible for people with disabilities. However, this provision amounts to placing on the household and therefore partly on the spouse the financial repercussions of an illness or a life hazard which already considerably impacts the personal life and professional victims. It appears that national solidarity should be able to be exercised independently of the family situation of disabled people and that the possible income of the spouse should not be taken into account in the calculation of the AAH, which sometimes becomes in fact the only source of income and compensation for the victims. Given the Government's desire to guarantee the independence and integration of disabled people, he asks him to please indicate the measures that his ministry intends to implement in this regard.
