At present, Linshu county has comprehensively carried out living allowance and nursing allowance for severely disabled people with difficulties. In 20 15, Linshu county raised and expanded the subsidy for the disabled, and the living allowance for the severely poor disabled was raised to 80 yuan per person per month; The scope of nursing subsidies for severely disabled people has been expanded, from the previous subsidies for first-class physical, intellectual and mental disabled people to the monthly nursing subsidies for first-class and second-class disabled people in 60 yuan. In 20 15, living allowance for severely disabled people was given to nearly 2,000 severely disabled people who enjoyed the minimum living allowance, and nursing allowance was given to more than 2 100 severely disabled people, with a total fund of more than 340,000 yuan, which effectively reduced the family burden of severely disabled people, improved their quality of life and improved their social security ability and service level.
The two subsidies can directly, simply and quickly alleviate the practical problems faced by some families of disabled people with difficulties in production and life, but they cannot fundamentally and permanently help disabled people integrate and adapt to society, mainly in the following four aspects:
First, the two subsidy standards for the disabled are generally low, and the subsidy standards are "one size fits all". The two subsidy standards in Linshu County implement the unified subsidy standards in our province. Enjoy the minimum vision, limb, intelligence, spirit of the first and second categories of personnel monthly living allowance according to 80 yuan, 65,438+06-59 years old limb, intelligence, spirit of the first and second categories of personnel monthly nursing allowance according to 60 yuan. Disabled people need to pay higher living costs than ordinary people in medical care, transportation, assistive devices and nursing. The contradiction between low income and high expenditure of disabled people will continue to affect the basic life of disabled people and even the whole family of disabled people. The current subsidy standard is lower than the level of social development, so we should improve the subsidy standard, formulate a multi-level and humanized subsidy standard mechanism, and enhance the pertinence and effectiveness of subsidies for the disabled.
Second, the principle of voluntary application for two subsidies for the disabled is limited and does not conform to the actual situation at the grassroots level. Most disabled people with difficulties exist in grassroots and rural areas. They have a low level of education, lack of understanding of policies, poor understanding of policies and subsidy application procedures, and limited physical conditions. Voluntary application will lead to some disabled people with difficulties not enjoying the policy. The database of disabled people with difficulties has been gradually established and improved from top to bottom throughout the country. The application method is not limited to voluntary application, but also eligible poor disabled people can be screened according to the database to ensure that all subsidy policies are put in place.
Third, the current subsidy policy for the disabled is a "preferential" policy for severely disabled people, and the scope of subsidies is limited. Families of disabled people spend a lot on medical care and nursing. According to statistics, the Engel coefficient of poor families with disabilities is 48.5%. There is a certain relationship between the poverty level of the disabled and the degree of disability, but it is not absolute. Every disabled family has the possibility of poverty. The existing subsidy policy for the disabled is only aimed at the severely disabled, which leads to the third-and fourth-grade disabled people not enjoying subsidy treatment. The state should expand the scope of subsidies and assistance, set various assistance standards, formulate a policy of "universal benefit" for the disabled, and pay attention to, care for and care for the disadvantaged disabled groups in an all-round, wide-ranging and diversified way.
Fourth, granting subsidies to the disabled is not a long-term solution to the living conditions of the disabled. It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. The existence of subsidies for the disabled will lead some employable disabled people to be satisfied with government subsidies, give up integration into society, refuse to create their own social values, and voluntarily fall into poverty. For the disabled who have the ability to work and the desire for employment, we should strengthen investment in education and human capital, and enhance their own survival and development ability and social integration ability. Diao Yujin, a first-class disabled person in Zhanggouzi Village, Yushan Town, Linshu County, participated in a free training course for disabled people's cashmere embroidery skills held by the County Disabled Persons' Federation from 20 14 to 10, and has now become a skilled cashmere embroidery craftsman. Although he can only embroider for 4 hours a day due to physical limitations, he can earn nearly 1000 yuan a month through his own efforts.
Improving the living conditions of the disabled is not a short-term matter, nor is it just a matter for the government, nor can it be directly solved by a policy or a system. The government, society, market and other forces should make concerted efforts to develop services such as rehabilitation, education, employment and rights protection for the disabled, so as to truly help them change their poverty situation and grasp the bottom line of their survival, and then lead them to catch up with the average level and run towards a well-off society.
Disabled people are a special group that must exist in the process of China's economic and social development. Their ability to accumulate and create wealth is weak, their basic living ability and employment competitiveness are poor, and they are at a disadvantage in safeguarding rights and interests, social status, survival and life. It is urgent to grasp the survival bottom line of disabled people with difficulties. On September 16, the executive meeting of the State Council decided to establish a comprehensive living allowance system for disabled people with difficulties and a nursing allowance system for severely disabled people, which is a good medicine to protect and improve the lives of disabled people.
At present, Linshu county has comprehensively carried out living allowance and nursing allowance for severely disabled people with difficulties. In 20 15, Linshu county raised and expanded the subsidy standard for the disabled, and the living allowance for poor and severely disabled people was raised to 80 yuan per person per month; The scope of nursing subsidies for severely disabled people has been expanded, from the previous subsidies for first-class physical, intellectual and mental disabled people to the monthly nursing subsidies for first-class and second-class disabled people in 60 yuan. In 20 15, living allowance for severely disabled people was given to nearly 2,000 severely disabled people who enjoyed the minimum living allowance, and nursing allowance was given to more than 2 100 severely disabled people, with a total fund of more than 340,000 yuan, which effectively reduced the family burden of severely disabled people and improved their lives.
