The article from Rzeczpospolita discusses a new financial support initiative from PFRON aimed at assisting individuals with disabilities in covering their electricity costs. Individuals eligible for the support include adults with disabilities and children under 16 who have a disability certification and require home rehabilitation services such as home ventilation. This financial assistance, which can be as much as 600 PLN, is intended to help with the costs associated with using medical devices like oxygen concentrators and respirators at home, particularly for those under long-term nursing care or hospice support.

The aid is specifically tailored for those receiving palliative care, home ventilation for mechanically ventilated patients, or oxygen therapy at home through specialized treatment centers. This initiative reflects a broader commitment to support vulnerable populations, ensuring they receive adequate medical assistance while managing their day-to-day living expenses. By covering energy costs, PFRON aims to ease the financial burden on families who often find themselves juggling healthcare needs alongside economic challenges.

Moreover, with the application process now open, it underscores the importance of accessible financial support systems for disabled individuals and their families in Poland. The proactive measures taken by PFRON highlight the role of government initiatives in creating an inclusive environment that accommodates the needs of people with disabilities, ultimately promoting their well-being and independence.
