I Approach Families and Mothers Raising a Disabled Child with Great Respect

Pięta: I Approach Families and Mothers Raising a Disabled Child with Great Respect - I do not wish to comment on the statements of MP Żalek. I approach families and mothers raising a disabled child with great respect. This is an enormous burden, both financially and emotionally. Of course, this should not imply consent to breaking the law, but returning to what Minister Rafalska was kind enough to say yesterday – the social pension is systematically growing, increasing to PLN 1030. There will also be additional opportunities regarding financial support and rehabilitation benefits - stated Stanisław Pięta on the morning program Siódma9. He added:

"It seems to me that the solutions proposed by the government are going in the right direction, and this is tremendous help for families of people with disabilities. I think these government decisions are being received with some satisfaction by the vast majority of these families. This is not the end. As far as budget allows, these forms of support will be expanded, however, I am not a member of the commission that deals with these matters"

- It seems to me that at this stage there is no such possibility. In the future, we cannot rule it out, but the competent persons to provide an answer are Minister Rafalska and our finance ministers - he continued, when asked about a PLN 500 cash supplement.
