About This Scheme

The scheme specifically focuses on individuals with a disability rating exceeding 75%, ensuring that those with the most significant limitations receive the essential support they require. This monthly maintenance allowance serves as a vital financial safety net, empowering them to meet their basic needs with greater dignity and autonomy.
