In Turkey, people with disabilities are in an uproar. The state has begun to cut monthly “home care” salaries paid to their relatives under a legal amendment passed last year. To benefit from the salary, the family now has to pass an “income test.”
The government pays 793 Turkish lira (about $300) per month to individuals who care for a disabled person in their home. Under the new law, one becomes eligible for the money only if they pass the "income test" — that is, if the monthly per capita household income is less than 572 Turkish lira ($212).
