Submission to the Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities – July 2022
However, some of the persons with disabilities are facing problems of decreased
benefit and continuity of service because more than 60 hours of difference
compared to the existing service is preserved by activity assistant, and long-term
care benefits are continued to be provided for baths and meals.
□ Recommendations
ㅇ Review the composition and benefits of the comprehensive service support
survey and enable persons with disabilities to choose between the activity
assistant service for persons with disabilities and long-term care benefit for the
aged.
ㅇ Measures to provide 24-hour activity assistant service equally among the region
should be devised for persons with severe disabilities who need care and support
for 24 hours.
