Social Assistance Amendment Bill

Dear Sir/ Madam,

Here following is my submission in order to assist in the matter of drafting the amended bill.

1. The lack of a common definition of disability - This definition should be drafted to set out to specify precisely the terms of physical and/or mental disability and isolate specifically what the boundaries and limits are in order to qualify for social assistance.

2. The absence of a uniform assessment tool - The assessment tolls should ideally be a full and detailed inspection of the domicilium of the applicant, their health, financial and family circumstances and a history of their past in relevance to the application.

3. The need to ensure a uniform treatment of applicants for Disability Grants - A full system including :

a. Application form

b. Identification verification

c. Citizenship verification

d. Current Financial status and verification of such status

e. Current health status and verification of such status

f. Current family status and verification of such status

g. History

h. Criminal status(if applicable) and verification of such status

i. All other relevant details to assist in the assessment of the applicant

If requested to do so I can set up the foregoing.

Warm regards,

Valentine Lefrere
