  • Title: [The personal budget--a new system of benefits for disabled people].
    Author: Wacker E.
    Journal: Rehabilitation (Stuttg); 2009 Feb; 48(1):4-14. PubMed ID: 19206032.
    Abstract:
    Instead of non-cash benefits, disabled people are to receive personal payments to help them to better manage their own support. This "tailor made support" has become a legal basis for a claim in 2008. It is aimed to pave the way for a new design of assistance: more ambulant services and a stronger position for the recipient of support. Initial results within the scope of pilot projects, evaluations from various perspectives and the discernible effects of personal budgets are reported in national and international perspectives.
