Income support must address costs of disability
The ACT Council of Social Service (ACTCOSS) has joined the Australian Council of Social Service (ACOSS) as well as ACT disability representative organisations in calling for an improvement in income support for people with disability in a submission to the federal Inquiry into the purpose, intent and adequacy of the Disability Support Pension (DSP) published today.
According to ACTCOSS A/g CEO Craig Wallace: “If someone has a disability or chronic ill-health that prevents them from gaining or maintaining sufficient paid work, they should have access to income at a sustainable level that enables them to put food on the table, buy clothes, pay for transport and afford the many other, often hidden, costs of disability.
