Disability identity card

The disability identity card is an ID card issued by the Ministry of Social Affairs that entitles you to various benefits. If you are restricted in your mobility due to your dementia, you can apply for one. Whether you receive the financial benefit depends on the severity of the dementia. A certain degree of disability must be determined.
