Question NW2625 to the Minister of Social Development
12 August 2015 - NW2625
Grootboom, Mr GA to ask the Minister of Social Development
How many people who are receiving a disability grant are visually impaired in each province?
Reply:
When a disability grant is approved, the approval is based on set criteria and is not related to the type of disability. Therefore no such information regarding the specifics of the disability is retained on the database. The system only captures the fact that the beneficiary is disabled and not the type of disability.
