More in need of assistance – not less, government

"The more need of assistance – not less, government"

"Debater: Vårbudgeten sends dangerous signals to the agency."

"This is an opinion piece. It is the writer who stands for the views that are put forward in the text, not Against."

"the DEBATE. In the end it went no longer. After having been pressed hard in the LSS-the question for a couple of years time, even the social democrats had to say something about the crisis in the personal assistance in valrörelsens final stage. "

"the Pressure from the affected families, who have not been granted assistance in spite of the child's severely disabled, and the pressure from the public, who had had enough of skräckskildringarna from the Swedish welfare backyard, the pressure finally became too great."

"Children with disabilities shall have the right to assistance was the message."

"Now we see what it means. 150 million, the government along with their co-operation parties the Liberals and the Centre party, on the assistance in the vårbudgeten. 150 million. It sounds much? It is infinitely little. The social insurance agency has saved at least seven billion in the last few years on the right assistansersättningen. "

"this is a first step, the government comments. And of course, it is a small baby steps in the right direction. But really worried will be when you take a part of the government's own calculations. "

"the Number of assistansberättigade shall reduce the next few years, expect the government in vårbudgeten. "

"the Peak year of 2015, it was 16 124 persons who had assistance from the social Insurance. Since then it has fallen steadily. In the last year had 14 596 people government assistance. And the government's forecast shows that you believe in further reduction in the number of. By 2022 it is estimated that only 13 967 people should receive state assistance."

"You can compare it with the forecast for the number of child benefit, where the government expects a steady increase, of course, on the basis of the population growth. But when it comes to personal assistance, i.e. the number of users to decline."

"How in the world thinking of the government?"

"the Number of people with disabilities who have assistance going down, while the population is increasing and the number in need of assistance, of course, also makes it. In addition: many people who have had government assistance for years have lost it. And many who apply are rejected. "

"Last year, there were as many as 83 per cent of those who sought state assistance for the first time which was rejected. If the government is serious in its own wording ”All of which have the right to assistance should get it”, we should also expect an increase, a sharp, of the number of assistansberättigade."

"how this would be received in the government's budget is very strong. "

"An authority, read the social Insurance, who see the government's calculations, will perceive these as, if not an order, so in all cases a direction to move in. "

"In my organization, RBU, all the families who have lost personal assistance to his child or never received when they applied, despite the child's very significant disabilities. I can be reached daily by their stories. "

"It is a plunge straight down in the disaster. Many parents have taken completely exhausted after years of nattvak and worn down with trying to manage a job and be there for the often neglected siblings. It is parents who now, after having been refused assistansansökan, feel compelled to start planning to place their child on a barnboende. Not because they want to but because they must. All the power is out."

"It's time to get up off the couch now, the government. Take assistanskrisen seriously. Slide to the substantial money to restore this important frihetsreform to his philosophy. "

"And realize that the number of assistansberättigade can not be allowed to drop more, instead, it must increase. Greatly."

"the Government set aside 150 million to the assistance in the vårbudgeten. Despite the fact that the government now promise penance and repentance, so it is estimated that the number of assistansberättigade will continue to decline. What is the fair promises are really worth, wondering debater."
