Cabinet okays disability allowance hike from Bt800 to Bt1,000
The Cabinet has approved a hike in disability allowance from Bt800 to Bt1,000 per month starting October 1, Government Deputy Spokeswoman Ratchada Thanadirek said on Tuesday (January 28).
“The adjustment was made to help disabled persons cope with the present cost of living,” she said. “Statistics show that most of the disabled persons live in rural areas and have an average income of only Bt4,326 per month. The increase in disability allowance is expected to promote a better quality of life for the disabled and reduce the burden on relatives.”
